UAW’s five demands are amnesty for all students and faculty, the right to free speech on campus, and allowing researchers to opt from funding sources “tied to the military or oppression of Palestinians.” They also demand the disclosure of UC investments and divestment from weapons manufacturing.
-New University
The University of California Irvine campus newspaper, New University, is reporting that the University is "filing charges" against International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW) 4811 for an unauthorized strike, apparently, in partial support of the pro-Hamas (my words) protesters at UC campuses.
So how does the union more commonly known as the United Auto Workers tie in with the University of California?
You don't wanna know.
Anyway, here is further on the action from UC itself. They are filing an unfair labor charge against the union with the California Public Employment Relations Board asking them to cease and desist with their strike.
Well, all I can say is that you learn something new every day: Vinnie and Sluggo are now aerospace engineers. Who knew?
