Interviews with organizers, strikers, and faculty participating in the University of California strike, and their counterparts at the University and  College Union strike in the UK give us critical background information on both, talk with us from the front lines, and urge for global strikes for decent wages, strong pensions, and an education that teaches us how to work for a better world.  As you listen to these extended conversations, you will be learn how both strikes respond to precarious labor, casualization, wage discrimination against people of color, women, and people with disabilities, and the ballooning salaries of the administrative class, and how both university systems siphon money meant for education into real estate assets and other "fixes" for capital investment. You will the outraged, but also inspired. To contribute to the UC strikers, use PayPal:  feeducrgradstrikers@gmail.com
