Lecturers Ratify New Agreement with UC

Share
In an online vote last week, 98% of UC-AFT's voting members ratified a new agreement with the University of California.  
Improvements to the Unit 18 MOU include: 
  • 3% merit increase effective October 1, 2011, with re-opener negotiations on salary next year
  • The right to negotiate over future changes to benefits
  • The right to negotiate over the implementation of online courses
  • Arbitration of workload disputes
  • Improved method of calculating seniority 
  • Streamlining of the grievance process
Many thanks to our bargaining team members, Chief Negotiator Alan Karras, Bob Samuels, Mike Rotkin, Ben Harder and Maria Elena Cortez; to our online ballot administrator Steve Petersen; to the UC-AFT staff; and above all, to the Unit 18 members of UC-AFT who attended early meetings, shared ideas, voted, and encouraged colleagues to vote.
