May 05, 2025Updates for Contracts and Negotiations

To the UCB/LBNL members, the University came back with their last, best and final. All craft shop stewards will give you all the information, we will be setting a date to vote so stay tune for that.
I have continued to negotiate an extension with OUSD for all crafts and currently finalized a extension for our SFUSD members.
For City College members we currently are meeting with the Vice Chancellor on getting Covid Bonus pay to all who have come in and help get the College opened during the Pandemic. The City of Sacramento negotiation is in its third session and currently with the surge of Omicron we will be going back to Virtual meetings.
Just a reminder our Local Union meetings are the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 5:30 I encourage everyone to come and ask questions so you get the right answers and stay informed.
Thank you and Stay Safe everyone!
