Service and Patient Care Technical Employees
UC presents AFSCME with enhanced offer —
it’s time for a contract!
On May 24, AFSCME returned to the bargaining table with UC, and UC presented the union with a new, enhanced proposal — highlights of UC’s offer:
Contracting |
|
Retirement |
In response to AFSCME’s concerns about UC’s Retirement Choice Program, UC has offered to let AFSCME leaders decide, on a one-time basis, if future employees will still be offered a choice between UC’s traditional pension plan and a 401(k)-style plan, or only the pension option. |
Health Benefits |
Quality health benefits at the same rates as other UC employees with similar salaries, plus a $25 cap for any monthly premium increases for UC’s Kaiser and Health Net Blue & Gold plans. |
Compensation |
3% annual pay increases for service and patient care staff (2% across-the- board plus step increases for patient care technical employees at UCSF/UCLA), plus a one-time $2,000 payment for all eligible staff upon an agreement. |
Contract delays are costing employees a lot of money.
Here is how much money average service and patient care technical employees have missed because AFSCME leaders continue to reject UC’s offers:
|
Position |
Missed pay raises from 2018 UC settlement offers (6%)* | Lost pay from 2018-19 strikes (9 days) |
Total missed pay | Missed one-time payment (3/8/19 offer) |
