• I WANT TO FORM A UNION!

  • I authorize UAW (International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of America) to represent me in collective bargaining with the University of California. I understand that I will pay no dues or fees until a contract has been negotiated and democratically ratified.

  • WHAT MATTERS MOST TO YOU AS A UC EMPLOYEE

  • About signing a union authorization card

  • Signing a union authorization card expressed your support for forming a union and engaging in collective bargaining. Collective bargaining means more rights and more power to shape our lives. By signing a card, you are joining over 100,000 higher education workers within UAW in efforts to achieve better working conditions, wages & benefits.


    Without a union:

    • UC unilaterally determines our working conditions and can change them at any time without our consent.

    With a union:

    • We elect colleagues to represent us and gather employee input about our priorities.
    • Our bargaining committee negotiates on equal footing toward a fair agreement with UC.
    • We decide democratically, through a vote, whether to approve any agreement as our contract.
    • That contract secures our terms and conditions of employment and is binding and enforceable, usually through appeal to a neutral arbitrator.
