UC Strike; CA Races Could Determine Fate Of House | NorCal In Brief

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — As the weekend wraps up, we've rounded up all the stories you may have missed Saturday and Sunday to prepare you for Monday.

But before we jump into Northern California’s top stories, Golden State residents should know that some of the state's tightest races could tip the scales in deciding the fate of the U.S. House — but it could take weeks for millions of mail in ballots to be tallied, leaving both Democrats and Republicans at the edge of their seats.

Meanwhile, Democrats celebrated Saturday after an anticipated red wave did not befall the U.S. Senate, but it remains to be seen what will happen after some 11 uncalled races are finalized.

If Democrats lose control of their slim majority, Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield would be in line to replace Speaker Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco. Read more about that here.

What's more, about 48,000 are poised to strike across the University of California System on Monday, a move that could shut down some classes and laboratories just weeks ahead of final exams in December.

UAW bargaining units are set to picket from 8 a.m. Monday. Nearly 98 percent of the 36,558 members voted to approve the strike authorization, according to the union. Compensation is a key issue in the labor dispute. Read more about that here.
