Our Teamsters Bargaining Team for Financial Services Analysts and Financial Analysts met with UC on March 12-13 and April 2-3. Tentative agreement has been reached on only 36% of locations for FSA titles, and no agreements have been reached for the Financial Analyst titles.
Our team repeatedly shared with the University the pay compression problems that exist, market data, and member testimony. Instead of addressing the problem, the University continued to propose pay that is below market rates. Worse, some proposals pay the same or less than lower-level titles, and the University has gone so far as to say that it was not really a promotion when FAs and FSAs accepted the higher-level positions.
Additionally, UCLA has proposed a pay range maximum well below both the current TCS range and our union’s proposed range. This is less than some UCLA workers’ current salary, leaving them “red circled,” or excluded from the wage scale and all future base-building raises until the range is adjusted!
Help us stop UCLA FSAs from being excluded from fair pay! UCLA must end the red circling!

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 private donations, 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 even 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 FSAs. The money our proposals represent is pennies to the UC but would allow Teamsters workers to afford to buy the groceries they need and pay for housing in the most expensive state in the country.
“I’m excited to be on the Bargaining Team to help build a better tomorrow for the hard-working Teamsters Local 2010 FSAs of the UC.”
