Stories that you shouldn’t miss:
1. The Oakland teachers’ union appears to have moved a step closer to going on strike indefinitely, the Trib reports. The union membership, which held a one-day strike last week, voted on a measure yesterday that would allow union leaders to call an indefinite strike without another vote from the entire rank-and-file. Union President Betty Olson-Jones told the Trib that she thinks that a majority of union members approved the measure.
2. A group of Cal students have started a hunger strike to demand that the university officially oppose Arizona’s new anti-immigration law, the Chron reports. The students also are demanding that UC Berkeley drop charges against protesters who occupied Wheeler Hall earlier this year, rehire laid-off janitors, and turn the campus into a “sanctuary” for undocumented immigrants.
