In coordination with other UC campuses, over a hundred UCSB workers and students went on strike Thursday to demand the University of California cease labor outsourcing. Led by AFSCME Local 3299 union members, this strike follows a string of charges of unfair labor practices against the UC, the third largest employer in California. According to serval UC audits, outsourcing low-wage work contributes to starker race, gender, and income disparity across the University of California.
