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!
