Final Grades May Be In Limbo As UC Santa Cruz Grad Student Strike Continues
Graduate students headed into their third day of the strike on Wednesday.
SANTA CRUZ (KPIX 5) — Graduate students at UC Santa Cruz were in the second day of a “wildcat strike” Tuesday, an unauthorized work stoppage that began Monday to protest low pay.
At around noon Tuesday, about two dozen students gathered at the quarry in front of the bookstore to hand out flyers, listen to public speakers and raise awareness of their demand of a monthly raise of $1,412. The figure represents their own calculations to provide a “cost of living adjustment,” or a COLA.
