Laura and David discuss the recent UC strike with Magally A. Miranda Alcázar, a graduate student in the Chicanx and Central American Studies Department at UCLA. Maga was a participant in the strike and active in the rank-and-file movement to push for a No vote against contract ratification.

Interviewee bio:

Magally A. Miranda Alcázar is a doctoral candidate at UCLA, and an activist working at the intersection of gender, race, labor, and technological disruptions.

Because of the length of our discussion with Maga, we’ve split the interview into two parts. This is Part One.

In part one we focus on the pre-history of the strike: the working and living conditions that led up to it, the student activism from 2009 to the present that influenced the strike, and the importance of internal politics and political factions within the union, UAW 2865.
