The Higher Education Employer–Employee Relations Act, which governs collective bargaining of higher education employers in the state of California, requires that the university as the employer provide notice to the public before it begins negotiations with an exclusive representative.
The current Non-Senate Instructional collective bargaining agreement between the University of California (UC), and the University Council – American Federation of Teachers (UC-AFT), provides for successor contract negotiations in 2019. Systemwide bargaining may begin following completion of the public notice meetings scheduled below.
