BREAKING: 48K University of Calfornia TAs, postdocs & other student workers just walked off the job.
It's the largest strike in the US since 2019.
Many UC workers earn < $24k/yr. A PhD student I spoke to said they donate blood plasma to make ends meet.

Great to be back in person again at @UCSanDiego for the annual check presentation after zooming for 2 years! #ARCSMembers presented a check for $260,000 to EVC Elizabeth Simmons for 26 accomplished grad students in #STEM.
Congratulations, one and all!👏
