Last week, members of the Union of Professional and Technical Employees-CWA (UPTE-CWA Local 9119) across California kicked off bargaining with the University of California. UPTE-CWA represents 18,000 healthcare, research, and education workers across University of California campuses, labs, and medical centers, as well as community colleges and Department of Energy facilities.
Members across the state rallied to support their bargaining team, demanding the university reset its priorities and invest in life-saving patient care, breakthrough research, and world-class education that workers help provide. Specifically, workers are demanding safe staffing, job security, career progression opportunities, and fair pay. These demands were drafted after more than 9,000 members weighed in via a bargaining survey campaign, a crucial feature of the democratic decision-making process at UPTE-CWA.
