UPTE’s Proposals |
UC’s Cuts | |
Access | UC prints your contract, including wages. Access to Better Employee Information in accordance with new law | Wants contracts posted online only. If you can’t access it, you won’t know your rights. |
Campus Closure | Use of up to 5 days of accrued vacation or sick time during campus closure | Use of maximum 3 days vacation time only during campus closure. |
Compensation |
6% (HX), 5.5% (RX/TX) annual cost of living increase and step to reward longevity and skill development. Equity for below- market titles. |
2% across the board, no steps to move through the pay scale, add steps to tops of many ranges that you will never touch. UCD excluding many HX titles. |
Corrective Action Discipline |
Remove salary decrease as a form of punishment so employees aren’t forced to work for less. Add language that requires UC to notify you that you are going into an investigatory meeting and have the right to a steward. | Shorten employee response time to discipline to 10 calendar days from 10 business (12 calendar) days. Allow managers to suprise employees by dragging them into investigation meetings with no warning. |
Grievance Procedure | Protect your right file a grievance and have a union steward’s support in cases of sexual harrassement | Cut your right to union protection in sexual harassment cases by illegally forcing victims through UC’s Title IX process. |
Health and Safety |
Give you the right to refuse to work in abnormally hazardous conditions until it has been cleared by EH&S. Provide size appropriate safety clothing and equipment. | “Work first, grieve later” UC will “try” to provide appropriate size protective gear. |
Holidays | Premium pay for MLK and 12/24 like the nurses currently receive. | No extra holiday pay. |
Hours of Work | Overtime begins after shift, double time after 12 hours. Specify rest between shifts. | Overtime only after 40 hours worked in a week, no limit to work day hours and no minimum between shifts. |
Layoff and Reduction in Time |
Protect your rights when laid off. | Cut your option to choose reduced severance and recall combination. |
Leaves of Absence | Create paid parental leave. Allow for option to use CTO during leave. | Opposes paid parental leave |
Nondiscrimination in Employment |
Protections regardless of immigration status. | Immigration is a “social issue” that doesn’t need to be in the contract. |
Parking | Maximum 1% (HX), 2% (RX/TX) annual increase in rates for life of the contract. | Ability to raise your parking rates with no limit. |
Performance Evaluation |
Evaluation of managers and supervisors by employees to discourage abuse of power. Stop management abuse of including peer reviews and having staff do their job. | Refuses to allow employees to review management. Continue practice of having employees review |
Professional Development & Edu. Leave |
No limit in usage of Ed.

Reasonable Accomodation | Create a sanctuary state on campus. | Refuses to put into writing after President Napolitano publically she will file charges against the government for ending DACA |
Sick Leave | Up to 15 days sick leave for bereavement. | Only 5 days sick leave for bereavement. |
Transfer, Promotion & Reclassification |
Compulsory review for reclass to Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) II after 2 years in CRC I job title (RX/TX). | No compulsory review for CRC II reclass for CRC I regardless of years in that title. |
UC Health & Welfare Benefits | Control the cost shifting of medical benefits. Maintain current retirement benefits for new hires to maintain solidarity and stability of our retirement. | Unlimited healthcare cost increases. End the union-labor benefit committee where unions have input into the benefits UC will provide the following year. |
UC Retirement & Savings Plan | Stop UC from undermining our pension health and security. Pension for all that provides retirement with dignity. | Put your pension at risk by offering new hires the ‘choice’ between an inferior pension benefit and a 401K. |
Vacation | Communication in writing of reason for vacation denial by management. | Refusing to put reason for vacation denial in writing. |
