Since January 2024, the University of California has regularly met with leadership from the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) union to negotiate new contracts for you and your colleagues. UC has negotiated in good faith and offered proposals that respond to stated union priorities. On July 24, AFSCME declared that it believed negotiations were at an impasse. Visit UCnet for answers to questions about the impasse process and what both sides have offered.
