UPTE agrees to resume negotiations in June — it’s time for a deal!
After months of no meaningful bargaining and multiple strikes, UPTE agreed to return to the bargaining table with UC next month:
- June 6: Bargaining for Healthcare Professionals (HX unit)
- June 17-18: Bargaining for Research and Technical Employees (RX-TX units)
We believe you have waited long enough for a contract, and that it is time for a deal, and for you to get to vote on UC’s offers.
As we have demonstrated throughout negotiations with UPTE, we believe you deserve the following:
- GUARANTEED YEARLY PAY INCREASES that fairly recognize your contributions and are consistent with what other employees are receiving.
- EXCELLENT HEALTH & RETIREMENT BENEFITS for you and your family at similar rates as other UC employees. UC’s benefits are among the most generous in the market.
- The JOB PROTECTIONS that a multi-year contract provides
