Support Our
STRIKE
University of California sysetmwide
February 26, 27, & 28, 2025
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.
Will you stand with us and hold UC accountable to its mission and obligations to follow the law?

UPTE members share their stories
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 to work during our November 2024 strike at UC San Francisco. While these unfair labor practices are at the core of our strike, it’s also important to recognize the priorities and personal stories we’ve brought to the bargaining table. Unfortunately, UC’s unfair labor practices prevent us from addressing those issues, including the systemwide recruitment and retention crisis, a lack of career progression, job security, fair pay, work/life balance, and more.
