After nine months of tough negotiations, rallies, pickets, and powerful shows of strength at the worksite, Skilled Trades Teamsters have reached a Tentative Agreement with UCLA! 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.
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 K4 worker.
Tentative Wage Schedule:
- Effective July 1, 2026: 6% raise (5% across-the-board raise and 1% bargaining unit equity increase provided to all workers)
- Effective July 1, 2027: 6% raise (5% across-the-board raise and 1% bargaining unit equity increase provided to all workers)
- Effective July 1, 2028: 5% across-the-board raise
- Effective July 1, 2029: 5% across-the-board raise
- Effective July 1, 2030: 5% across-the-board raise
Voting dates for our new Tentative Agreement will be announced soon. Find out more about our agreement and how voting will proceed at our upcoming worksite meetings:
