Victory

99% of PCT and 97% of Service Members Vote “YES!”
for Secure Raises & Benefits Protections

Thousands of members cast “YES” votes to overwhelming ratify our wages and benefits agreement. Hundreds more joined our union and became members of the PEOPLE program, building our power at UC and in Sacramento!

After nearly a year of negotiations and actions, highlights of the agreement include:

Guaranteed 2011 & 2012 raises for both PCT & SX, with full retro
Increase in the statewide minimum wage
Strong caps on healthcare cost increases
No wage reopeners for the life of the contract

With support from elected officials, the pressure we put on UC through our pickets and delegations, meetings with Pres. Yudof and the Regents, and the countless other actions we forced UC to agree to all our major demands!
