LOS ANGELES—Thousands of patient care and service workers at UCLA, UC Irvine, and other University of California campuses across the state began a two-day strike Wednesday, alleging unfair bargaining tactics, allegations the UC system denies.
According to the AFSCME Local 3299 union, the strike includes roughly 37,000 UC workers “at every UC campus and medical facility across the state.” The strike began at midnight Wednesday and continues until midnight Thursday night. Picketing both days will be from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
