UC workers strike, alleging unfair bargaining and poor working conditions.

Thousands of patient care and service workers at the University of California campuses and medical centers will strike for two days starting Wednesday, alleging unfair bargaining tactics from the UC system. The AFSCME Local 3299 union, representing around 37,000 workers, claims the university has failed to meet legal responsibilities, leading to understaffing and housing crises. The UC system denies these allegations, stating it has made contract proposals and provided financial credits to workers. The strike will impact all UC campuses and medical facilities.
