More University of California academic workers report some professors are retaliating against them for having gone on strike last year. Most of the claims are coming from UC San Diego.

Unionized academic workers won a new contract in late December. Now, more University of California academic workers are saying they are the victims of retaliation by some professors in the wake of last year's strike.

The UC San Diego graduate researchers and teaching assistants claim they were given unsatisfactory grades that could threaten their college careers.Daniel Primosch is one of the thousands of UC academic workers who struck for higher pay and better working conditions. Many of the researchers and teaching assistants walked the picket lines and did not report for their class assignments during the strike.

“A 'U' , especially with the amount of credits I was signed up with, would take me out of good standing, and put a hold on my account and keep me from work as a researcher," Primosch said. Hannah Castro is a first year graduate student and teaching assistant in the UCSD Chemistry department. She received an unsatisfactory grade for the fall semester, and is not happy with the university's response to the allegations.
