Hundreds of academic workers participated in a “last chance picket” at University of California, Berkeley on Thursday to demonstrate their willingness to go on strike over unfair labor practices.

The UAW Local 4811 union organized a simultaneous picketing event at all 10 University of California campuses on behalf of 40,000 of the academic workers they represent.
