Letter from CLUE CA to UC Regents

I support AFSCME 3299’s struggle for justice at the University of California.
I pledge to stand side by side with AFSCME members until there is a just settlement of their labor contract, as I believe that achieving their demands will have a positive impact on all Californians.
