Proposed contract agreement between University of California and its academic workers anticipated to be ratified
Last week, a tentative agreement was reached between the University of California and negotiators for the thousands of UC academic workers who went on strike in November. While some union representatives have praised the agreement, other the members of the bargaining team have voted against it and argued that the provisions do not go far enough. The current agreement would raise pay more than fifty percent for the graduate workers across the UC campuses; however, these changes would not take place until 2024. The voting window for the agreement closes Friday, and those in favor of the deal are optimistic that it will be ratified.
