UCSF AFSCME 3299 & UPTE Workers Strike for Living Wages & Also Speak Out on Palestine

UCSF AFSCME 3299 & UPTE Workers Strike For Living Wages & Workers Also Speak Out On Palestine & UC

UC AFSCME 3299 and CWA UPTE workers went out on an unfair labor practices strike on February 26 2025 and spoke out about their issues and the continuing attacks by UC management on their conditions. UC spends millions of dollars on lawyers fighting the unions. AFSCME 3299 has 37,000 members and CWA UPTE has more than 20,000.

UPTE workers for Palestine also had an educational on the connection between the workers strike and the genocide in Gaza.

None of the AFSCME 3299 and UPTE speakers mentioned the role of Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom who is on the UC Regents Board and also appoints most of the regents of the Regents Board. Most are millionaires and corporate officials representing the capitalist class.

The UC management and Regents who are big Zionist supporters have viciously attacked attacked supporters of Palestine and have banned Dr. Rupa Marya from the campus for her speaking out on Palestine. She also spoke by phone during the strike. UPTE officials and staff told UPTE Members For Palestine that they could not have a table up and have an educational about Palestine during the strike. This was ignored by the UC Palestinian supporters.
