After nearly three weeks of strike, University of California (UC) officials on Nov. 29 struck a tentative deal with postdoctoral scholars and academic researchers that includes some of the highest pay and cost-of-living increases in history, according to union leaders.
About 48,000 academic workers launched the biggest academic strike in U.S. history across all 10 UC campuses on Nov. 14, leaving some classes without instructors and professors without teaching assistants to grade assignments just ahead of end-of-semester exams.
