UC Strike & Palestine: Calling Out UC UPTE Bureaucrats Over Their Censorship on Palestine

The UPTE CWA union leadership have censored resolutions on Palestine and during the UC strike sought to prevent their members from speaking out on Palestine. The union officials have told the members that they cannot take about the connection between the US funded war in Palestine and the struggle for living wages and a contract. They have also removed a resolution passed on Palestine from their web site and prevented any discussion on the connection the murders and torture of medical workers and destruction of hospitals in Gaza with the fight of UPTE and UC healthcare workers.

Supporters of the strike spoke out at the UPTE Members For Palestine including Professor Rabab Abdulhadi who is a member of the SFSU California Faculty Association and also is the director of Arab & Muslim Ethnicities & Diasporas program at the college. It has also come under attack by SFSU administrators.

UPTE member Lisa Milos spoke out about her union leadership's efforts to shut their voices on the issue of the genocide. She also reports on an UPTE official supporting the UCLA police on the picket line saying that the strike was not sanctioned so the police could arrest the strike supporters.
