Bargaining Update
Our bargaining team met with the employer on Friday, April 26 to begin negotiations on our next K9 collective bargaining agreement. Our team presented a series of comprehensive proposals to ensure fairness with other Southern California UCs centered around overtime/on-call, shift differentials, and subcontracting. Although the university acknowledged our reasons for making these proposals, they stated that they only have so much that can go toward making these proposals reality.
Let’s tell the wealthy University of California that they need to prioritize the workers who keep the campus running for students, faculty and staff.
