UC and UAW Reach Contract Agreement for Academic and Staff Employees

The University of California and the United Auto Workers today reached two new contract agreements for academic and staff employees.

"We are grateful to achieve agreements that mutually benefit the University's academic student employees and new staff units," said Missy Matella, Associate Vice President for Systemwide Employee and Labor Relations for the University of California Office of the President. "These agreements reflect the tireless work of the bargaining teams on both sides of the table that remained committed to productive, good-faith negotiations throughout bargaining. Reaching this outcome on these complex contracts required extraordinary trust, dedication, and partnership. We are deeply grateful for the many individuals who contributed their time, expertise, and persistence to help bring these negotiations to a successful conclusion."

Additional details about the four-year agreement will be shared upon ratification of the contract, which is expected next week.
