The Unions gave ample notice of their intent to strike, thus enabling the University to prepare continuity plans well in advance of each walkout. While such notice is not statutorily required, the fact that the Unions gave more than 10-days’ notice for each strike indicates that they did not convert their protected activities into an unlawful pressure tactic. At the very least, this advance notice was completely inconsistent with the notion that these were “‘hit and run’ strikes engaged in as part of a planned strategy intended ‘to harass the company into a state of confusion[.]’” [Citation.] (p. 9.)
