University of California's Largest Union Endorses Bernie Sanders for President

The University of California’s largest employee union, AFSCME Local 3299, voted to endorse Sen. Bernie Sanders’ bid for President ahead of California’s March 3 primary.

AFSCME 3299 represents 26,000 service and patient care workers at the University of California, and is comprised mostly of women and people of color who are among the lowest-paid workers in the UC system.

The union said its endorsement follows a consultation with membership in which Sanders received significantly more support than all other candidates combined in a recent survey.

AFSCME 3299 is the third University of California union to endorse Sanders, joining the California Nurses Association and UPTE-CWA Local 9119.
