Our elected K3 Unit Bargaining Team unanimously recommends adoption of the Tentative Agreement!
“As a team, we fought hard on this contract so that we could improve our workplace and provide a livable wage for all the hard-working Skilled Trades Teamsters at UC Davis. United we bargain, divided we beg. No more begging!"
“This is a victory for the essential workers that make UC Davis run 24/7! We spent more than two years at the bargaining table fighting for the wages and contract language we deserve. This agreement is a major win for Teamsters at UC Davis!”
