#Teaching assts #StudentWorkers on #UCLA campus repped by #UAW #union have voted to authorize a strike "in response to UC's unprecedented acts of intimidation and #retaliation directed at our rights as academic employees to free speech, protest, and collective action. Our members have been #beaten, concussed, #PepperSprayed, both by counter-protestors and by #police forces. As a union, it is our responsibility to stand beside them and demand that UC stop committing these gross Unfair Labor Practices," the UAW said. UAW Local 4811 is demanding that UC grant #amnesty to academic #employees, #students, #faculty and staff in disciplinary actions related to campus #Gaza protests.
