The union representing UC academic workers said Friday that its members at UC Santa Cruz would go on strike Monday over alleged worker rights and free speech violations.

The union representing 48,000 academic workers across the University of California said Friday that its members at UC Santa Cruz will go on strike Monday over alleged worker rights and free speech violations, potentially dealing a blow to campus operations at a critical time during the final weeks of the spring quarter.

Internal and external investigations are taking place at UCLA, where faculty senate members voted Thursday on whether to censure and express 'no confidence' in Chancellor Gene Block. Results are expected within days. 'Our members have been beaten, concussed, pepper sprayed, both by counterprotesters and by police forces. As a union, it is our responsibility to stand beside them,” the union said in a statement prior to Friday's announcement.
