Los Angeles Times: UC service workers strike over pay
More than 250 workers rally outside UCLA Medical Center in Westwood. The workers say they are paid 25% less than workers who hold similar jobs at other facilities.
Hundreds of service workers at the University of California’s 10 campuses and five hospitals began a five-day strike Monday in a dispute over wages.
University officials reported “minimal impact” from the walkout by custodians, cooks, healthcare workers and other employees. Campus shuttles were idled at UC Berkeley and cafeteria hours were curtailed at UC Irvine, but patient care was not affected at any of the university’s five medical centers, they said.
