Ruth has spent 19 years caring for patients as a pharmacy technician at UC San Diego—but she can’t afford her own health care. The work has taken a toll on her body, yet her paycheck doesn’t even cover the copays for the treatment she needs. Meanwhile, UC has purchased eight hospitals in just the past two years! They have a lot of money—it’s just not being used to care for their workers.

Do UC executives think they’re auditioning for The Gilded Age? Someone really needs to tell them that creating a permanent underclass of low-wage workers isn’t actually a good thing.

76% of UC’s frontline workers still can’t afford a one-bedroom home.*

Hey UC, perhaps it’s time to stop digging? 🪏🪏🪏
