RSVP to Our ULP Statewide Strike at UC
February 26, 27, & 28, 2025
UPTE-represented workers across the University of California system are striking over UC’s implementation of illegal restrictions on our right to advocate for our patients, research, and students—as well as UC's illegal efforts to force workers at UCSF to work during our November strike at UC San Francisco.
Since June of 2024, UPTE-represented healthcare, research, and technical professionals at the University of California have been fighting for a contract that will address the crisis of recruitment and retention crippling our work. We’ve brought proposals to the table for safe staffing, career progression, work/life balance, fair pay, and job security but have been met with bad faith and unfair labor practices from UC. Enough is enough—California deserves better.
On February 14, UPTE announced that members voted by 98 percent in support of authorizing a statewide strike. Learn more below and find a plan to join your colleagues on the picket line for however long it takes to win the contract our patients, students, research, and workforce deserves.
RSVP below for your picket line shift on February 26, 27, & 28, 2025.

Those experiencing financial hardship will be entitled to apply for the financial hardship fund.
UPTE has a limited fund reserved for members facing financial hardship during the strike. To receive a payment, you must be on the picket line for a complete shift all three days of the strike and sign in and out each day. Checks for $300 will be mailed two to three weeks after the strike. The hardship fund can only be applied for in person, on the picket line, on February 26.
