United Auto Workers Local 4811, which represents 48,000 student workers in the University of California system, authorized a strike alleging their workers' rights were violated during pro-Palestinian protests.

The union representing 48,000 graduate student teaching assistants, researchers and other student workers across the University of California’s 10 campuses have voted to strike and cause 'maximum chaos,' alleging that their workers' rights have been violated at several universities by actions against pro-Palestinian protests, union leaders announced Wednesday evening.

The disagreement hinges on whether student workers such as Jaime, who was part of pro-Palestinian protests at UCLA the night a violent mob attacked the encampment, are striking over a 'workplace issue or political speech,' said John Logan, a professor in the department of labor and employment studies at San Francisco State University.
