UC Administration Stalls, UAW Pushes forward on Workload Protections and Employment Rights
On May 21st and 22nd we met with the UC administration after agreeing to negotiate over our workload protections and access to important information concerning our employment. Unfortunately, the administration stalled negotiations by coming to our meeting unprepared to negotiate and by sending a chief negotiator who did not have the authority to make decisions. This is not surprising, given that the administration has a history of using stalling tactics to undermine bargaining. We succeeded, however, in getting the administration to engage in substantive discussions by the second day of negotiations. Class and section sizes are ballooning every year, which has an impact both on us as workers and on the quality of education at the university. Solutions need to be proactive, preventing excessive workload before it becomes a problem.
