day 1 of UAW 4811 strike at uc santa cruz, the first campus to be called to stand up 🕊️
on may 15, UAW local 4811, which represents over 48,000 academic workers at all 11 university of california campuses across california, voted to authorize a strike. The strike comes in response to the brutal dismantling of the UC’s Gaza solidarity encampments at the hands of the police, authorized by the university’s administration. It also comes after the uc and cops stood by as groups of zionists violently attacked the UCLA encampment with chemical sprays, fireworks, and other weapons.
