(OAKLAND, Calif.) – Teamsters Local 2010 has won union representation for 320 University of California (UC) financial analysts, with the state labor board ruling that these workers were misclassified as nonunion by their employer.
“We are thrilled to welcome more than 300 financial analysts to our fast-growing union,” said Jason Rabinowitz, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 2010. “We are proud of all we have achieved building the size and strength of Local 2010. Together, we have built the member power that has won strong contracts and unprecedented raises for our members and their families.”
More than 17,500 UC administrative workers are represented by Local 2010, with nearly 5,000 added just in the last five years through accretion, which allows unrepresented workers to join an existing bargaining unit. The California Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) has recognized these UC workers rightly belong to Local 2010’s Clerical and Allied Services (CX) unit.
Local 2010’s member power campaign has translated directly into higher wages for members. The Teamsters difference is clear: the CX unit went from five years of no raises and no contract under its previous representation, to winning the best contracts in the unit’s history. By the time the current CX unit contract expires later this year, Teamsters will have won a compounded 83 percent in pay increases since 2011.
Teamsters Local 2010 is a union of 23,000 hard-working employees in California education. We are affiliated with the 1.3 million members of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters across the United States and Canada. For more information, visit teamsters2010.org.
