UC Strike Enters Third Week, Banner Action at the Cal-UCLA Football Game w/ Adrian Wilson (G&R 196)

The University of California (UC) academic worker strike entered its third week this week. The largest academic worker in U.S. history and the administration shows no signs of moving on demands. Pickets and walk outs have continued across the ten UC campuses. At the Cal-UCLA game on Friday in Berkeley, an independent group of strikers hung a massive banner off of two flag poles during the game. 

Scott talks with Adrian Wilson (@circleadrian), a striking UC graduate student-worker about the banner action and the strike. 

Adrian is a PhD student in anthropology at UC Berkeley and a longtime Bay Area anarchist activist.

[NOTE: You can see the drone footage of the banner we reference at the beginning of the episode here.]
