From slave ship mutiny, to the implementation of the weekend and child labor laws won by early labor unions, to the victory of AFSCME workers for a better contract from the UC last April, labor has always found new ways to influence the decision-making bodies that impede their progress towards fair, safe, and dignified employment. Even in the wake of major social victorie...

Students Rally to Prioritize Languages at UCSC
On March 8, more than 100 students held a rally outside the UC Santa Cruz Academic Senate's quarterly meeting to demand the prioritization of the language program at the university. They expressed frusteration over lucrative salaries and perks for top-administrators, and excessive amounts of money going towards war in Iraq, while students and workers are told there is a 'budget crisis' that requires cuts to needed programs.
Wednesday's 'Save Our Languages' rally marks a second consecutive ...

Santa Cruz Students Strip for Sweat-Free UC
On Wed, March 1, students at UC Santa Cruz engaged in a creative "clothing-optional" protest against collegiate apparel produced by sweatshop labor. The protest was also against alleged comments by UCSC Chancellor Denice Denton that 'no one cares about sweatshops.'
