Bargaining update for SX/EX Represented Employees & Microsite

Dear Colleagues,

We hope this email finds you well. We are reaching out to update you about the negotiations between UC and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, Local Union 3299 (AFSCME).

On August 28-29, the University of California and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees met with mediators selected by the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB), which oversees the two-day mediation sessions. Each party presented its position to a neutral mediator during the mediation. However, the mediation ended unexpectedly on August 29th after it was canceled by PERB.
