Daily Dumpling: Workers at U.C. Santa Cruz are planning to go on strike due to the crackdown on protests.

The University of California, Santa Cruz academic workers, represented by U.A.W. 4811, are set to strike on Monday in response to the university system's handling of pro-Palestinian demonstrations. The strike, which will affect about 2,000 members and last until June 30, aims to protest against the university's alleged unfair labor practices and restrictions on free speech. This move follows a vote authorizing the union to call for a strike, with potential for similar action at other campuses if grievances are not addressed. The university has filed an unfair labor practice charge in response. The strike is seen as a response to issues beyond traditional bargaining matters, and a "stand up" strike allows for focused action on specific campuses or workers.
