If approved by union members, the agreement will resolve what had been the nation’s largest-ever strike of academic workers, affecting the entire 10-campus University of California system.
In a major breakthrough in the five-week strike that shut down classes and unleashed grading turmoil, the University of California and 36,000 graduate student workers reached a tentative labor agreement Friday that would boost their pay and improve benefits.
The agreement also offers enhanced support for child care and healthcare for dependents. UC also agreed to cover supplemental tuition for up to three years for eligible international students.About 48,000 unionized academic workers across the University of California’s 10 campuses walked off the job, calling for better pay and benefits.
“I would like to thank Mayor Steinberg, and negotiators for both the University and the UAW, for coming together in a spirit of compromise to reach this tentative agreement. This is a positive step forward for the University and for our students, and I am grateful for the progress we have made together,” said UC President Michael V. Drake.
