Optometrists at University of California campuses, including UCSF, have commenced a two-day strike starting Tuesday, citing labor law violations by the University during salary and benefits negotiations. The strike, which could delay hundreds of patient appointments, has gained widespread support, with @katie4council and @RafaelMandelman among those expressing solidarity with the striking optometrists and @UPTECWA. Picket lines were formed in multiple cities, including Sacramento, Davis, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego. The action has also received political backing, with a unanimous resolution passed by the Board in support of the optometrists.
