UC workers unite to oppose healthcare cuts

In 2013 and 2019, AFSCME, CNA, and UPTE stuck together and struck together to force UC to back down on its plans to force our newly-hired members to work five years longer for the same pension benefits as current employees. 

The last few years have seen UC pass increasing portions of healthcare costs onto non-union workers—which is why UPTE members pay up to $224 less per month.

Now, UC wants to remove the caps and impose up to $150/month for specialty pharmaceuticals.

That's why an even broader coalition of UC unions is saying "hell no!" to UC's attempts to push healthcare costs onto workers.

and let UC know you're going to stand with our AFSCME, AFT, CNA, SEIU-CIR, Teamsters, and UAW colleagues to protect affordable healthcare at UC.

UPTE, CNA, and AFSCME workers have stopped UC's cuts before—and it is time to do it again. Once you've signed, please share the petition with your coworkers so we can show UC that we won't back down.

In Solidarity,
