campuses are planning to go on strike at 8 a.m. Monday in an effort to secure improved pay and working conditions.
"Our primary goal in these negotiations is achieving multiyear agreements that recognize these employees' important and highly valued contributions to the's teaching and research mission with fair pay, quality health and family-friendly benefits, and a supportive and respectful work environment," King said in a statement provided to CNS.
Union officials say some of the employees make as little as $24,000 per year. Along with higher salaries and greater annual raises, the workers are demanding free public transit passes, improved child care benefits and greater job security. Mai Do, a bargaining team member of UAW 2865, said "Too many people are being forced out of UC because they aren't paid enough to afford the rising cost of housing, on or off campus," the newspaper reported.
