'We are proud to have reached agreements that address the soaring cost of living, and reflect the value of our contributions at UC,' said Neal Sweeney, president of the UAW Local 5810.
UAW Local 5810, the union representing a portion of the larger graduate student strike that is still in action across the state, has agreed to a 20-23% wage increase, 8 weeks of paid parental leave, longer appointment periods and $2,500 in annual childcare subsidies — the first time postdocs have won a childcare subsidy after 12 years of fighting, according to the union.
Parental leave was a major touchstone for striking postdocs at UC. Inflation and financial strain aside, raising children and planning for family life was made difficult by the university's appointment system, which did not guarantee employment for postdocs for longer than a year at a time. The graduate student union, UAW Local 2865, has accused the university of unfair labor practices during negotiations — leading to discontent at the bargaining table, according to Rafael Jaime, president of the UAW Local 2865.
