Our Teamsters Bargaining Team for Executive Assistant 3 workers sits down for their first bargaining session with the UC today, and we’re ready to show our support! Add your name to our petition below to let the UC know that we won’t accept anymore unfair pay on our campuses.
100% of EA3s statewide are paid below the maximum of their campus salary range, and 61% are paid below the median for their range! Not a single EA3 with more than 10 years of service has hit the max of their salary range, and 35% of veteran EA3s are still below the median despite a decade+ of service to the university.
As workers who keep the nation’s preeminent public university system running, we demand more from the UC! The UC brings in billions every year from public funding and rising student tuition, but still they force their own workers to pay more in retirement contributions, parking, and healthcare-related costs. They claim a commitment to public service at the same time as they say that there is no more money for the workers who make the UC run smoothly.
We demand that the UC share the wealth with Teamsters EA3s. The money our proposals represent is pennies to the UC but would allow Teamsters workers to buy groceries, pay rent, and to keep making a living in the most expensive state in the country.
