University of California’s

Unfair Labor Practices

Bad Faith Bargaining

  • UC’s bargaining team does not have sufficient bargaining authority. Often, they cannot answer basic questions about their proposals, saying that they have to confer with “the University” prior to answering.

  • They are refusing to bargain over pay scales for titles that have joined the union recently and over housing benefits that the University already provides to Executives.

Implementation of Healthcare Cost Increases

  • UC has imposed higher co-pays - including $150 per specialty mediation - and premiums even though they cannot legally make these changes during negotiations.

Free Speech Violations

  • UC is imposing a campus-specific patchwork of illegal restrictions on our right to advocate for our patients, research, and students

Failure to Provide Information on Short Staffing

  • UC has still not provided data on career progression and the number of budgeted but unfilled positions in our job titles, more than a year after some of this data was requested.
