Nearly 50,000 Student Workers Strike at All 10 University of California Campuses
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the largest higher education strike in U.S. history, some 48,000
graduate student workers at all 10 University of California campuses
walked off the job Monday denouncing the university's bad-faith
bargaining practices with their union. The student workers, including
researchers, teaching assistants and tutors, have organized with the
United Auto Workers and are fighting for higher living wages, more child
care benefits, expanded family leave, among other demands.
