This decision is outrageous. Labor injunctions from rogue courts have an ignoble history. That’s why CA passed a law specifically limiting orders like this. The judge seemingly defied the legislature, ignored precedent & spurned PERB, the body w/ authority over these questions.

Inbox: After UC failed a second time to get court order from the Public Employment Relations Board to stop academic workers’ strike, it's now attempting to bypass PERB, filing for strike damages and a temporary restraining order in Orange County Superior Court

New: CHP isn’t supposed to aim less-lethal munitions at protesters’ heads and fire into crowds. It did at UCLA. We found at least 25 instances in which officers appeared to aim their weapons at the eye-level of protesters or fired them into crowds. calmatters.org/justice/2024/0…

More than 800 faculty & staff demand full amnesty for the student who were arrested following this horror

Police & UCLA's own security stood by and watched the assault on peaceful protesters for hours. It is only because the students fought for their lives and to protect each other that no one was killed in this mass casualty event lapublicpress.org/2024/05/two-ni…

A Swiss court ruled that by missing its climate targets, the government failed to protect senior women from the health impacts of heat waves. Could this be the beginning of Heat Law & the Right to Be Cool?

Open letter to new UC Berkeley Chancellor
“For the past 25 years, your predecessors have tried to make up for dwindling state support by soliciting philanthropic gifts, pursuing commercial income, raising tuition fees, and cutting costs…a strategy that has demonstrably failed.
