UPTE-UCLA Local 2
UPTE-UCLA Local 2 is the University Professional & Technical Employees at the University of California at Los Angeles. Our organization, now in its 28th year, is a democratic and member-run union made up entirely of UC employees. Decisions are made by UPTE members and their elected representatives. Our success is due to the high level of activism among our members.
We invite you to join us by filling out an application.
Feel free to contact us with any questions, concerns suggestions or workplace issues.
You can also learn more about UPTE, and find out how UPTE and its members work to make a better UC with the UPTE Difference.
What's New:
- Solidarity Strike SUCCESS with AFSCME: May 8 and 9! Learn more here as hundreds of UPTE members joined the picket lines at either RRMC, the Bruin Bear or Santa Monica Hospital and at other UC sites across the state.
- UCLA's HR resorted to dirty and illegal tricks to hijack Counseling Psychologists bargaining and tamper with their Strike Vote. UPTE has condemned Anthony Solana, Head of UCLA Labor Relations, and his band of outlaws. Our members refused to be intimidated by his law breaking and at the end it had little or no effect. The vote was overwhelmingly in favor with over 96% systemwide (and 100% here at UCLA) voting to strike! Watch for further announcements.
- And UPTE and UC are still bargaining your contracts, you can read the update here. But UC's idea of a cost of living increase is 2%. Federal stats show Southern California inflation and wages actually are increasing 3%. Read about UC's attempt to shortchange us here. The facts on inflation are at The Bureau of Labor Statistics and The Daily Breeze. For more information and events and union actions, check this page and our calendar page often.
- The Los Angeles Times editorial board explains why the Supreme Court "free speech" argument is without merit at http://www.latimes.com/opinion/editorials/la-ed-scotus-unions-20180227-story.html. It simply provides a political excuse to attack public employees who are represented by a union. One attorney's blog reveals that other SCOTUS arguments for defunding public unions lack any rational basis at http://www.caperb.com/2018/02/26/mark-janus-v-afscme-oral-argument-highlights/. Lastly, the Daily Bruin covered the Feb. 26 rally and quoted UCLA UPTE President Mike Fehr at http://dailybruin.com/2018/02/26/union-members-protest-supreme-court-case-on-nonunion-fees/. UPTE expects the Supreme Court will decide to defund public unions. It will be more difficult for UPTE to bargain contracts and protect all of us.
