Voting on ULP Strike Authorization has now closed. With 23,314 UC-UAW workers voting and 21,751 voting in favor (93.3%), the vote has PASSED in all three units. With this overwhelming result, UC management should be officially on notice that UC-UAW workers are united against their unfair labor practices and that they must bargain with all of us in good faith towards fair contracts.
Specific unit breakdown is as follows:
Staff (SSAPs & RPSPs): 5597 voters with 5194 voting YES (92.80%)
ASEs: 17,717 voters with 16,557 voting YES (93.45%)
No strike has yet been called, but the bargaining teams are now authorized to call a ULP strike if UC continues to break the law. You may expect an email from your bargaining team next week about next steps. If you have any questions, please reach out here.
