Our annual 4% across-the-board raise, guaranteed by our Teamsters contract, takes effect on July 1! The raise will appear on biweekly workers’ paychecks starting July 16 and on monthly workers’ paychecks starting August 1. Workers should also be on the lookout for our next round of campus parking fee reimbursements, which will appear on checks beginning July 30!
Our annual raises are guaranteed because of our strong Teamsters contract. Thank you for standing together with our Union and our Bargaining Team as we fight for good pay, strong benefits, and respect at work!
If you have questions about the raise, contact our Union Rep John Viera.
“We achieved these historic raises and the strongest contract in our history by standing together as Teamsters and building Local 2010 into a powerhouse for workers’ rights. Now that we are entering bargaining for our next contract, let’s keep standing united to protect our raises, medical benefits and rights at work – and to build on what we have accomplished!”

Teamsters Local 2010 Secretary-Treasurer
Guaranteeing our Teamsters Raises!
The fight to make sure every UC Teamster is fairly compensated doesn’t end when our contract is ratified. Every year our Union lobbies California legislators and the Governor’s Office to demand that California higher education, and our work as UC employees, receives the funding necessary to support the largest public higher education system in the country. This year, when the UC and CSU were threatened with debilitating 8% cuts in the Governor’s proposed budget plan, our Union fought back! Teamsters travelled to Sacramento, spoke with legislators, and won a 0% cut to the UC and CSU in the legislature’s June 15 budget bill!
This kind of lobbying is only one of the ways in which our Union fights for workers in Sacramento and Washington D.C. every day. Help us win even more benefits and protections for Union workers by making a contribution to DRIVE (Democrat, Republican, Independent Voter Education), the Teamsters political action fund!
