UC Strike Hub

February 26, 27, & 28, 2025
RSVP below to join us on the picket line!

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.

Are you a UPTE-represented worker at UC going on an unfair labor practice strike on February 26, 27, & 28? Set your out-of-office message to the following:

Hi There,

From February 26 to 28, I will be out of the office on strike due to the University of California’s unfair labor practices.

Nothing would make me and my UC 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 unlawful attempts to interfere in our organizing rather than bargain in good faith has left us no choice but to engage in this unfair labor practice strike.

Please visit upte.org/ucstrikefaq to learn more about how you can help resolve the strike.

Sincerely, 

[Your name]
