Los Angeles, California – More than 48,000 academic workers in the University of California system have gone on strike over what they say are unfair labour practices and low wages.
Researchers, postdoctoral scholars, teaching assistants and other employees headed to the picket line on Monday, launching what they describe as the largest academic worker strike in US history. The move is expected to halt activities within the University of California system, a network of 10 public universities and more than 280,000 students.
