The disciplinary policy at Commerce allows only one punishment for “violation of ‘no-strike’ affidavit”: removal.

UC leaders contend that the strike is illegal because of a “no-strike” clause in the union’s contract, which won significant raises for workers after a 2022 strike.

“We are disheartened that UAW continues publicly escalating its unlawful strike in violation of its contracts’ no-strike clause and encouraging its members to disrupt and harm the ability of our students to navigate finals and other critical year-end activities successfully,” Hansen said in a statement.

The university contends that the current strike is illegal because the union has a valid contract with a no-strike clause.

Union leaders also say the no-strike provision is irrelevant to the alleged violations they are claiming.
