UC-AFT is the union of non-Senate faculty and librarians working throughout the University of California. We represent over three thousand academic employees on all ten UC campuses. Since the formation of our union in 1982, we have worked to improve wages, working conditions, job security and benefits for our members. Today, our lecturers have one of the strongest non-Senate faculty contracts in the nation. Yet, our struggle continues for market rate salaries, adequate professional development funding, reasonable workloads, better job security, and ultimately, an equitable system of academic appointments for librarians and teaching faculty at UC. UC-AFT has a long history of involvement and cooperation with senate faculty at UC, several hundred of whom have chosen to become members of our union.
***UC-AFT has developed a new website dedicated to providing information and analysis on the issues that matter most to our members. Please visit the site for up-to-date information about UC-AFT and our ongoing work to improve the quality of jobs and education at UC.
