BAfter months of tough negotiations, rallies, pickets, and powerful shows of strength at the worksite, Skilled Trades Teamsters have reached a Tentative Agreement with UCSB! This agreement 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. Our Bargaining Team strongly recommends a YES vote on this agreement!
Thank you to every member who stickered up, joined an action, and made your voice heard! Together, we’ve won an incredible agreement that raises our wages, controls healthcare costs, and protects every K8 worker..
