We are fighting for a UC that centers workers in its mission to deliver world class education and research.

We are fighting for a UC where first-generation scholars do not have to go into extreme debt so that highly-paid administrators can live in publicly-funded mansions. We are fighting for a UC in which workers are free from harassment and discrimination and earn enough money to live without excessive rent burden. We are fighting for a UC in which parents can raise their families without working second jobs, and everyone has access to sustainable and affordable transportation options. In short, we are fighting for a UC that works for its students and workers.

48,000 Academic Workers are coming together to use our contracts as a tool to build a more equitable UC. Stay up to date about what is happening at the bargaining table and how we can collectively move the needle toward improved rights and benefits.
