Judge Temporarily Halts UC Academic Workers' Strike Over Protest Crackdown

The University of California secures a restraining order against the largest U.S. work stoppage of the year, involving thousands of graduate student workers.

  • The strike began in response to UC's handling of pro-Palestinian protests at multiple campuses.
  • The union claims the university violated workers' rights to peaceful protest and free speech.
  • UC argues the strike breaches a no-strike clause in the labor contract and is politically motivated.
  • Union leaders vow to continue fighting the injunction and defend their right to protest.
  • The state labor board had twice denied UC's request for an injunction before the court ruling.
