(Through 2026, UC Davis had a pilot program where Blue & Gold rates were reduced to the same rates as Kaiser for all staff statewide. Thanks to our contract language, UPTE will maintain lower Blue & Gold rates for UPTE-represented Davis employees in 2027, which will be slightly lower than the statewide Kaiser rates.)
