Calstuff Correspondant GSI passes along this Union e-mail... strike on Friday! (Errr... this is in regards to the UC/GSI Labor Negotiations

UC labor relations in the Dynes era: Moving backwards?

Talks broke down yesterday in our contract negotiations with UC and the situation shows no sign of improving. We have charged UC with committing 64 unfair labor practices at the bargaining table and beyond. The UC administration has also tried to buy our rights to support other Unions who have filed similar unfair labor practice charges against UC. Moreover, UC demands that we withdraw our unfair labor practice charges and grievances over their failure to provide us critical information for enforcing our rights.

The Union bargaining team, in consideration of UC's unfair labor practices, calls for a 1 day unfair labor practice strike at all UC campuses on Friday, and continues to resist the University's attempts to buy our rights. To sign up for a picket shift and find out more about how to! become involved, call your Union office at 510-549-3863. We need to make sure that the Dynes administration is a step forward in labor relations, not a step backward.
