ACADEMIC STUDENT EMPLOYEE
2025 BARGAINING
This fall, 36,000 researchers and educators are negotiating a new union contract with UC management. We have the power to protect our university from Trump and compel management to honor our rights, but only if union members all over the state take action. Here’s how you can keep up with contract negotiations and join that effort.
Join the Contract Action Team (CAT)!
It takes all 36,000 Academic Student Employees (ASEs) working together to win a contract we deserve. In every department, lab, cohort, building, and teaching team, ASEs need to come together to shape our bargaining priorities and take action to improve our workplace rights. In order to build the mass, supermajority participation we need, ASEs across the UC system are joining the Contract Action Team (CAT) to make sure their coworkers stay informed and ready to win a strong contract!
