UAW Files Charges Against UC Admin, Will Strike if Necessary
With four days until the expiration of our contract, the University of California administration continues to stall negotiations. As a result, our bargaining committee is filing dozens of unfair labor practice (ULP) charges against the UC today.
If you have been following our regular bargaining updates, you know that these practices of stalling, withholding pertinent information, and sending people to the table who do not have the authority to make agreements constitute an ongoing obstructionist trend since negotiations began in March. The bargaining committee remains committed to doing everything in our power to reach an agreement with the university administration by September 30th. However, if the administration continues to bargain in bad-faith , we are prepared to call a strike.
You can see our press release on filing ULP charges here: http://www.uaw2865.org/news/current.php
Weve also received strong support from the UC Student Association:

September 27th marked the first day of Fall quarter at University of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC). The Baytree Bookstore was packed with students purchasing books while the Baytree Plaza was filled with fraternities and sororities attempting to lure in the incoming freshman. At 3pm, women and men who are service workers at UCSC organized with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Local 3299 initiated an informational picket for a fair labor contract. Workers, some with their families, were joined by student allies for a powerful rally sending a strong message to UC administration that AFSCME, the Student Worker Coalition for Justice (SWCJ) and graduate students organized with UAW Local 2865 are united in demanding that UC prioritize workers, students and their families.
