We are pleased to announce that our Union has stopped UCOP's plan to strip retirement benefits from Summer Session salaries!

We have reached a negotiated agreement with the UC administration about Summer Session retirement benefits for those who teach at Berkeley, Irvine, Los Angeles, and Santa Barbara.

Dear Lecturers,

Dear UCD Lecturers,

As the semester has ended, please take a moment to reflect and help provide feedback to our union!  Below is a link to our end-of-the-term survey.  Our union needs important information from you and your colleagues to coordinate with UCD in a number of situations.  If you plan to return, if you have another job elsewhere, if you'd like to teach again but haven't heard yet: we want to know!

Thanks in advance for filling out the survey!

TAPS' denial of year-long parking permits resolved!

Submitted by TaroneB on July 26, 2017 - 1:04pm

Dear Members,

TAPS, the University office in charge of parking, was recently refusing to sell our members year-long parking permits.  The union objected, and the administration has now agreed that this policy was wrong and has rescinded it.  You can now purchase a year-long parking permit at the TAPS office.  Furthermore, if you were denied a year long permit and purchased a one-month permit, you can have that purchase put toward a year-long permit.  All you need to do is go into the TAPS office to make the exchange.

Continuing lecturers who work, say one semester, might be eligible under regular EDD rules.
