Thousands of UC employees strike

Thousands of graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and other academic workers left their jobs to strike Monday, after months of failed negotiations with UC leadership. And, the city’s Independent Budget Analyst has released a new report on San Diego’s affordable housing crisis. It focuses on the barriers to providing more housing and bringing rents down. Plus, the uncertainty hanging over California’s solar marketplace is beginning to clear now that regulators have unveiled their plan to reshape solar rules. Then, the USO - the iconic support organization for service members and their families - has quietly been closing dozens of airport lounges and on-base hospitality centers. But it's also opening others, including some in the military’s most remote locations. And finally, in an excerpt from the podcast Uncuffed, we hear about a wedding ceremony held in the San Quentin State Prison visiting room.
