Hello Local 6366,

Below please find the August edition of UCAFT Insider, featuring the Librarian Bargaining update, and our new August COLA raises. 

In addition, I am happy to announce that Dr. Iris Ruiz, Continuing Faculty in the Writing Program, is taking over as our new Grievance Steward. She has a history of exploring and addressing issues of diversity in higher education and will be a formidable advocate in defense of our contracts. Thank you for supporting our various causes, Iris! 

Cordially,

John Haner

The recent bargaining session between UC-AFT and the UC resulted in significant gains for Lecturers.  One of the most visible is the improved salary for Unit 18 lecturers.  Be sure to check your paystubs to make sure you received 3.2% in your June pay (paid July 1) and another 3% increase effective July 1 (paid August 1).  2.5% increases will be seen in both 2017 and 2018.  

Dear Local 6366, 
Please join me in welcoming UC-AFT's new field representative at UCM, Jon Carlson.  Jon was previously a lecturer in Political Science at UCM, so he is very familiar with the campus and administration.  He also served as the UC-AFT grievance steward at UCM, so he has experience supporting colleagues and enforcing the lecturer contract.  Jon's appointment is 50% time and he will be dedicated to Local 6366.
