UCSF Unfair Labor Practice Strike:
November 20 & 21

An unfair labor practice strike will take place at UC San Francisco on November 20 and 21, 2024.

Thousands of UPTE healthcare, research, and technical members participated in our strike vote, which authorized a strike to be called by 98%.

You can RSVP to join our picket lines at upte.org/RSVP.

We are limiting this strike to UCSF in order to give UC an opportunity to begin to bargain in good faith. If UC doesn't, and if they continue their pattern of unlawful behavior, all 20,000 UPTE workers across the state need to be prepared to act to hold UC accountable.

For five months, UC has refused to meaningfully engage with any of our proposals. Instead, they have withheld key information, bargained in bad faith, and threatened to impose healthcare cost increases without bargaining, in violation of California law

The University's refusal to bargain in good faith is not just illegal, it insults the commitment that each and every one of you has to your patients, research, and students. UC won't even tell us how many vacant positions they leave unfilled, or how many millions of dollars these vacancies save them.

UPTE-CWA 9119 is the union of professional and technical employees at the University of California.

UPTE was founded in 1990 by a group of employees who believed that UC workers would benefit from a union to safeguard and expand our rights. In 1993, UPTE members voted to affiliate with the Communications Workers of America (CWA), a 700,000-member union in the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO), the largest federation of unions in the United States, to better represent our members.
