Striking UC AFSCME 3299 Workers Fed Up with Layoffs & Union Busting & Speak Out at UCSF

by LVP
Hundreds of UC AFSCME 3299 workers rallied and marched in San Francisco at the UCSF Mission Bay campus and spoke out about the layoffs and union busting by UC management and the regents.
AFSCME 3299 Marched At UCSF Mission Bay Campus
UC AFSCME 3299 workers have been fighting for contract for many since January 2024 and faced union busting and unilateral increases in their healthcare costs. Their contract expired in July 2024.

They now have over 40,000 members throughout the UC system. They struck and rallied at UCSF Mission Bay campus on July 25, 2025 to demand a contract and the return of laid off service workers. UPTE CWA members are without a contract and the NNU CNA and UAW 4811 are also facing contract fights. San Francisco Labor Council president Mike Casey attacked the "Blue Democrats" in California in being part of the union busting drive by management.

AFSCME International is pushing the privatization of Medicare by supporting Medicare Advantage and has "partnered" with Emblem Insurance company. At the same time they say they are protecting public healthcare

AFSCME 3299 which has 40,000 members have been without a contract since July 2024 and the management and regents have been engaged in union busting and flagrantly violating labor law.

Labor supported Governor Gavin Newsom in a PR stunt showed how pro-labor is was. In reality he is appointing union busters to the UC Board of Regents and is helping them attack the UC unions and workers who are facing layoffs and wage cuts by management tactics. Newsom was supported by AFSCME 3299 and all the unions in California.

Labor supported Gavin Newsom had the racist Nazi Bannon on his radio talk show. He is spending his time running for president while UC AFSCME workers are fighting to survive. He is also on the UC Board of Regents as an Governor and has gone along with UC spending millions on union busting lawyers and more militarization of the university along with ties with the apartheid genocidal regime in Israel.
