Welcome to the UC San Francisco
Unfair Labor Practice Strike Hub
November 20 & 21, 2024
UPTE-represented workers at UCSF are striking over UC’s refusal to disclose the number of unfilled positions in our titles statewide, unilaterally implementing significant increases in healthcare costs, and other illegal, unfair labor practices.
Are you a UPTE-represented worker at UCSF going on an unfair labor practice strike on November 20 and 21, 2024? Set your out-of-office message to the following:
Hi There,
I’m out of the office on strike due to the University of California’s unfair labor practices.
Nothing would make me and my UCSF colleagues happier than working with you and our colleagues to deliver the finest [patient care/cutting-edge research/technical support/student support]. Unfortunately, the University’s bad-faith bargaining has left us no choice but to engage in this unfair labor practice strike.
Please visit upte.org/takeaction to learn more about how you can help resolve the strike.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
[Your classification]
