UC Workers Hold 3-Day Strike to Demand Wage Increases, Fair Treatment
June 13-15 Labor Strike at University of California
Clerical workers at the University of California say that UC is "OUT of excuses for why it treats its lower-paid workers so badly, causing
AFSCME and UPTE to strike over UC's unfair labor practices, and causing
CUE to strike over our terrible wages." In the last two years, the Coalition of University Employees (CUE) has attempted to win modest pay raises for clerical workers, and the university has steadfastly refused to grant them. The contract that was being negotiated two years ago still has not been settled. A state-appointed arbitrator has ruled the UC can afford to pay increases for clerical workers. It has also been determined that UC has money available that could be used for these pay raises, and has diverted funds that were meant for clerical workers to other areas. UC claims the state budget crisis makes it impossible to give increases, but only 1/3 of the funding for clerical salaries comes from the state. CUE workers say, "Please join us in this 100% legal strike to tell the administration what
you think of clerical salaries at UC." Read more
