Striking University of California workers agree ‘landmark’ settlement
Agreement for higher wages for 48,000 academic workers ends nearly six-week work stoppage
Academic workers in California have ended a nearly six-week strike, described as the largest ever to hit US higher education, after approving a “landmark” agreement for higher wages on Friday.
The strikes across the University of California (UC) system ground campus life to a halt, disrupting classes and exams as thousands formed picket lines and staged noisy protests to demand better pay.
