May 1: Support striking UCSD workers at UCSD Hillcrest

[Lilly Irani]

UPTE will be striking on May Day (May 1st) from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Hillcrest alongside AFSCME 3299. May Day is a powerful day of international worker solidarity, and this strike is especially critical — it's our final action before returning to the bargaining table with UC on May 8th and 9th. A huge turnout is essential to show our strength and push UC to bargain with us in good faith.
