Hopefully the strike will now spread to other UC campuses.
The back story here is that United Auto Workers (the UC grad students’ union) negotiated an unacceptable contract, and despite many months of pushback from the students, and despite UCSC voting against it, the union ratified it anyway (including a no-strike clause).
Also, the faculty of UCSC voted against the firings.
