 August 2007 Bargaining Updates
UC began negotiations with AFSCME on August 2 over a new employment contract for the more than 11,000 patient care technical employees who work in UC's medical and health care facilities.
UC's major goals for this year's negotiations include:
- Preserve UC's ability to provide excellent, cost effective health care services to communities throughout California
- Develop an attractive total compensation package in order to retain and attract talented, well-qualified patient care technical employees to UC
- Continue to provide health care and retirement benefits to employees at the same costs as they are provided to other UC employees
- Present UC patient care technical employees with a choice between the current sick/vacation plans and a new plan that offers increased flexibility
- Reach a comprehensive and mutually beneficial multi-year agreement through good faith negotiations prior to the expiration of the current contract
