As many as tens of thousands of unionized University of California workers are poised to strike Feb. 26 to 28 across all 10 UC campuses and five medical centers over what the unions say are unfair labor practices.
Two unions, UPTE-CWA Local 9119 (University Professional and Technical Employees) and AFSCME Local 3299 (American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees) have authorized strikes for Feb. 26-28 and Feb. 26-27, respectively, according to union officials.
The two strikes are unrelated but slated to occur on overlapping days. Both unions are currently renegotiating contracts with UC that expired last year.
In the Bay Area, affected locations include UCSF, UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, union officials said.
