UC-AFT's librarian bargaining team met with UC administrators in Oakland on July 6. This was the first session since May 24 when our team passed proposals on Salary and Professional Development funding. UC librarian salaries lag significantly behind librarian salaries at other local, state and private institutions in California.  Professional Development funding for librarians is inadequate and levels vary from campus to campus.  Librarians across the state wore t-shirts with the slogan "UC Librarians: Powering the UC Research Engine" in solidarity with our bargaining team.
