“High Ideals, Low Pay”—how the University of California exploits its employees
While salaries for University of California (UC) President Robert C. Dynes and campus administrators consistently rise, many UC service employees are struggling to survive. According to a report released last Tuesday by the National Economic Development and Law Center (NEDLC), UC devalues the contribution of those that clean and maintain its nine campuses and five medical facilities throughout California. In the report entitled “High Ideals, Low Pay: A Wage Analysis of UC Service Workers,” NEDLC demonstrates that the wages of most UC service workers don’t even provide for basic needs such as rent, food, child care, health care and transportation.
