| Solidarity w/ UAW Local 4811 Strikers |
|
Dear UAW Local 4811 UC Santa Cruz Leadership,
We write to express our unwavering solidarity with UAW Local 4811 - UC Santa Cruz, which, this past spring, engaged in an Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) strike related to the UC administration’s crackdown on the student encampments in support of Palestinian liberation. We previously issued a statement in support of these strikers. And now, we are disappointed to learn that the UC administration began retaliating against student workers — issuing disciplinary letters to hundreds of workers, garnishing wages, and issuing an ”intent to fire” four workers — which would effectively bar them from completing their degrees. . .
