Within minutes of United Auto Workers Local 4811’s historic vote yesterday to authorize a strike against the University of California, the UC blasted out a threatening and misleading letter to all union members – teaching assistants, graduate student researchers, postdocs and academic researchers.
This week, the University of California’s 48,000 academic workers – including teaching assistants, tutors, postdoctoral scholars, academic researchers and more, all represented by United Auto Workers 4811 – are voting on whether or not to authorize the union’s executive board to call a strike if circumstances justify.
The time to elect members of student government for the next academic year has begun. The Undergraduate Students Association Council consists of 15 officers who represent diverse elements to serve the student body.

Dear Bruins,
The past week has been one of the most challenging in the over 100 years that UCLA – and the Daily Bruin – have been standing.
We are writing as UCLA community members to express our disappointment in Chancellor Gene Block’s leadership of our campus during the recent violence. On Thursday, Block’s campuswide email demonstrated that he has learned the wrong lessons about how these protests have been managed.
In response to the shocking and terrifying violence of counter-protesters Tuesday night, some close friends, classmates and I joined hundreds of other students outside of the Palestine solidarity encampment Wednesday night.
On April 28, a racist, Zionist mob verbally and physically assaulted students who were calling for UCLA to divest from companies that profit from Israel’s genocide in Gaza that has killed over 34,000 Palestinians.
A message to our students:
We write today with hearts full of sadness and outrage. Your university administration has failed you. It has failed to protect you and support you, and in doing so, it has made clear where its priorities lie: in silencing protests and maintaining the status quo at the cost of your rights of free speech and assembly.
