[Sehefac] AFSCME 3299 & UPTE strikes at UC next week

[Ellen Reese]

Dear colleagues,

My apologies--The dates listed for these strikes are next week in February
(not March). Below is the info with the corrected February dates (sorry for
my typo & any confusion it caused!):

Two unions representing UC workers, AFSCME 3299 & UPTE, have planned
strikes next week & request campus & community support at their picket
lines. Sometimes these picket lines are roving as workers & their
supporters march across campus but they are often located at the main
campus entrances, especially the entrance off of University & West Campus
Drive.

On AFSCME 3299's 2-day strike on 2/26 and 2/27 (6am-4pm), see:

Please consider supporting these workers and help to spread the word!

All the best,
Ellen
