We are pleased to announce that our Union has stopped UCOP's plan to strip retirement benefits from Summer Session salaries!

We have reached a negotiated agreement with the UC administration about Summer Session retirement benefits for those who teach at Berkeley, Irvine, Los Angeles, and Santa Barbara. Those campuses have agreed to continue contributing 3.5% of Summer Session salary to the Defined Contribution Retirement accounts of Lecturers who have full benefits and teach Summer Session.
