A lot has changed over the past two weeks for the 48,000 Academic Workers currently on strike across all nine UC campuses. The strike started on November 14, and new updates come in nearly every day from the bargaining table and the various picket lines across the state. KCSB’s Jackie Sedley has been staying in touch with Emily Fox, a PhD student at UC Santa Barbara who is actively participating in the strike. She spoke with Fox yesterday about the status of demands from workers and final grades for students, but in the 24 hours since, things have already changed. First, you’ll hear Fox’s update on major shifts that occurred late last night. Then, you’ll hear the initial conversation between Sedley and Fox, with no-longer-relevant information edited out.
