Student Researchers United-UAW (SRU-UAW) was a union representing student researchers at the University of California (UC). It was part of the United Auto Workers.[1] The union was composed of more than 17,000 people who work across 10 UC campuses and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.[2] They were the largest 2021 addition to the UAW, accounting for 0.1% of union members in the US, and, according to organizers, were "the largest academic student employee union in US history."[3][4][5] The union later joined UAW 2865 and ceased to be an independent entity.[6]
