In March, UC Systems Administrators classifications secured significant raises and back pay of up to 21.5% from a settlement negotiated by UPTE at the end of 2022. This win was made possible by the strength we have when we stand together as union members.

“This victory will allow us to continue ensuring that UC’s IT systems are functioning and meeting the needs of our students, faculty, clinicians, patients, and beyond. It’s important to recognize our victories but we also realize that our unions’ work is not done,” said Tom Godfrey, a Systems Administrator with UCI Irvine Health.

We are so proud of what we have all been able to accomplish as a Union in 2022, in preparation for the work that we have ahead of us in 2023 and beyond.

UPTE stands fully in solidarity with 48,000 UAW-represented academic workers who continue a historic strike for fair wages and working conditions for a 4th week.

UC has announced its plan for implementing the 2022 Emergency Paid Sick Leave law recently passed in Sacramento as a result of a broad effort by California Unions and community groups.

We have counted the mail-in ballots received for the 2022 Interim Election. We certify that the ballot tally was fairly and accurately conducted, the secrecy of the ballots was maintained, and that the election results are as indicated as below.

We are happy to report that Systems Administrators 1-3 will finally be receiving the raises from the TX contract, which have been withheld by UC since June of 2019.
