STRIKE VOTE RESULTS:
UCSF members authorize strike by 98%

Thousands of members participated in our strike vote at UCSF, voting yes to strike by 98% and dwarfing turnout from all past UPTE strike votes. Check out coverage of our strike vote from KQED and Axios.

Over 75% of healthcare workers cast a ballot to strike, along with a majority of members across our research and technical units, meaning that our power to hold UC accountable will be on full display at UCSF's Medical Centers, labs, and clinics.

A strike at UCSF may be announced at any time. UPTE will provide at least 10 days notice to the University and has already reminded them of their responsibility to plan for this.

We are limiting this strike to UCSF in order to give UC an opportunity to begin to bargain in good faith. If UC continues to commit illegal, unfair labor practices, all of us must be prepared for a statewide strike vote.

UPTE-CWA 9119 is the union of professional and technical employees at the University of California.

UPTE was founded in 1990 by a group of employees who believed that UC workers would benefit from a union to safeguard and expand our rights.
