The CCC is composed of five elected members from each campus, one of whom will serve as a Table Team member. The CCC is responsible for planning and implementing our bargaining campaign statewide and on each campus, and for supporting the Table Team as needed. The complete CCC is listed within this post.

After fifteen negotiation sessions over nearly one year, UC’s negotiating team has failed to move on key issues related to the professional, academic status held by librarians at UC. Our solutions are simple, reasonable, and essential to our ability to perform our work.
UC Regents Meeting
March 13, 2019
UCLA
Public Comment
Good morning, Regents. My name is Mia McIver, I’m a faculty member here at UCLA, and I’m President of University Council-American Federation of Teachers. UC-AFT librarians have been working without a contract for five and a half months. We’re fighting for academic freedom, for an end to temporary appointments in permanent archives, and competitive salaries to recruit and retain highly qualified librarians. Tell Labor Relations to settle a fair contract with librarians now!
UPTE and AFSCME 3299 will hold a one-day strike on March 20. Please read on for ways you can support the strike or honor the picket line and still meet your contractual obligations to the University.
