SX — Service

AFSCME Implementation

After 16 months of negotiating and bargaining in good faith with AFSCME, reaching impasse and exhausting the impasse procedures, UC is implementing certain terms of its last, best and final offer (LBFO) for AFSCME SX and EX bargaining units.

Under the terms of UC’s LBFO and as allowed under state law, UC is moving forward with wage increases for these critical employees who provide vital services to its hospitals and students across the system. These increases will move these UC team members to $25 an hour by July 1 or a 5% increase, whichever provides a greater benefit to its employees, provide health care credits to employees in pay bands one and two and implements 2025 health care premium rates across the AFSCME workforce.

UC’s action also clarifies grievance procedures, leave time (including expanded sick leave), and meal and rest periods.
