Taking Back UC
March 12th, 2008

AFSCME University of California employees (AFSCME Local 3299) are taking back their university. To that end, they’ve launched a special website: www.takebackuc.org.

The new site educates the general public about the important links between workers’ contract demands, patient care and student services at the University.

In short, UC Students are paying more for fewer services, and workers are struggling to make ends meet due to sub-standard wages. Meanwhile, the UC administration has put executive compensation above all else.

Local 3299’s campaign for justice has the support of hundreds of political, clergy, faculty and community leaders. You can show your support by checking out www.takebackuc.org.
