The ratification vote on our Tentative Agreement has now closed. With 21,161 voting and 19,359 voting in favor (91.5%), all UC-UAW contracts are now officially ratified. We’ve fought hard for our contracts and it’s finally the time to enjoy all the rights and protections we’ve won.
The unit-specific results for all three UC-UAW contracts are as follows:
SSAP
Total votes: 2480; Yes votes: 2460 (99.2% in favor of ratification)
RPSP
Total votes: 2705; Yes votes: 2648 (97.9% in favor of ratification)
ASE
Total votes: 15976; Yes votes: 14,251 (89.2% in favor of ratification)
Congrats on participating in this campaign to win a historic contract and becoming a union member. Our next step as a union is to help all our coworkers learn about our new rights and enforce our contract. And that requires high union membership so that we have resources to pay for legal representation and membership training to protect and advance our rights and benefits. Do you have any coworkers you can talk to about joining you as a dues-paying member? We encourage you to celebrate this win with them and talk to them about why you signed up as a member. This is how we will truly meet the moment to fight for the future of public higher education and all our work.
Onward,
