48,000 workers from the University of California are currently on strike, and refuse to go back to work unless they are paid a living wage.
The University shall increase wage ranges/rates for all ASE titles by at least either 7%, or the highest year-over-year median rent increase in the locality of any UC campus, whichever is greater; the methodology for calculating “median rent” shall be mutually agreed to by the University and the Union.
Another movement, “COLA4ALL,” rejects economism and the idea that the struggle over wages, or even rents, as theterrain of struggle in which a contract can intervene. The COLA4ALL tendency builds on earlier ideas of “social justice unionism” that animated the UAW’s struggle for gender-neutral bathrooms in the 2010s.
This week even a “Diet COLA,” a package that retained at least the language of $54,000 base pay, was gutted by a slim majority of the UAW 2865 Bargaining Team, 10-9. By the same slim margin, the bargaining team sacrificed workers with disabilities, for zero concessions from UC and with zero accountability in addition to slashing child care in half and dropping dependent care.
