Twenty five thousand AFSCME 3299 workers at UC went on a three day strike against outsourcing, privatization and attacks on wages and pensions. They were joined on the picket lines at UCSF by CWA UPTE technical workers who are also without a contract and face outsourcing and privatization of their pension plan. This picket was on the first day of the three day strike on October 21, 2018

Twenty five thousand UCSF AFSCME 3299 workers and CWA UPTE workers joined the picket lines on October 21, 2018 to demand an end to outsourcing, attacks on their pensions and living wages. This strike was supposed to last three days and CWA UPTE members were marching in solidarity. This was the first day of a three day strike by AFSCME 3299. The UC Regents who are mostly appointed by Governor Brown have had a long war against labor and the unions to privatize the workforce and undermine and destroy the UC public pension system by pushing workers into a privatized 401K that will be run by companies connected to UC regents.
Workers discussed how outsourcing is harming not only the workers but the public and patients.

UC workers are angry that the management is outsourcing their jobs to lower paid workers doing the same work benefiting the profiteers who are running the University. Gavin Newsom who is running for Governor and also is on the regents has gone along with the privatization and union busting that has been going on for decades.
