The University of California has reached an agreement with some 36,000 graduate student teaching assistants and other academic workers for increased pay and benefits that could potentially end the long strike at the prestigious state system.
University of California research and student employees were on strike at all of the UC system campuses. At UC San Diego several hundred union members walked the picket line, San Diego, Nov. 14, 2022.
The strike disrupted classes at all 10 of the university system’s campuses and was the largest strike of academic workers in the nation. The agreement still needs to be ratified before the strike officially ends.AdvertisementThe pay hikes and boost in benefits could have an impact beyond California.
The academic workers had argued they couldn’t afford to live in cities such as Los Angeles, San Diego and Berkeley, where housing costs are soaring, with the current salaries.
