91% of voting Teamsters have said YES to our strong new K8 Teamsters contract! That majority shows that members agree: This contract is a major victory for every UCSB Skilled Trades Teamster!
Our new contract includes a 30.1% average compounded raise for all workers over five years, strong healthcare cost caps and subsidies that match those negotiated for our CX Unit siblings, and more. We won this contract with our solidarity in the workplace and our dedication to fighting for dignity and equality for every K8 Teamsters worker!
“We showed resilience to the University’s ridiculous offers with strength and vigilance and improved our contract with better language that strengthens wages, benefits, and working conditions. This is a contract that our members can be proud of.”
