Here are the details:

• The 24-hour strike will begin at midnight on Thursday, May 1, and end at 11:59 p.m. 
• Impacted groups include UPTE’s Health Care Professionals, Research Support Professionals, and Technical Units, and AFSCME’s Service and Patient Care Technical Units. 
• Affected locations include UCSF, UCSF Health’s hospitals and clinics, Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center (ZSFG), and UCSF Fresno.

Across UCSF, we expect to sustain critical operations for the campus and the health system during this strike. Our contingency plans, strengthened by recent experiences, are focused on continuity of care, education, and research, and on supporting our teams that make that possible.

Sincerely,
