TO THE WEBSITE FOR
UNIVERSITY COUNCIL - AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS
As a librarian or non-senate faculty member (lecturers and others) at the University of California, you are represented by the University Council-American Federation of Teachers. UC-AFT was formed by faculty and librarians as a professional organization whose mission is to protect, and advocate on behalf of academic employees at the University of California.
WHO WE ARE UC-AFT is affiliated with the California Federation of Teachers and the American Federation of Teachers. Since 1983, we have negotiated and administered statewide collective bargaining contracts, or Memoranda of Understanding, that cover Librarians (Unit 17) and Non-Senate Faculty (Unit 18). These agreements establish the basic terms of the individual contracts that you receive and the rights and responsibilities that govern employment at UC.
WHAT WE DO Our primary work is negotiating improved conditions for non-senate faculty and librarians and representing academic employees when they have problems related to their employment at UC. We are also active in publicizing issues of concern to faculty and librarians and in representing those concerns to the Legislature.
If you have a problem you believe needs attention, please do not delay in contacting your campus representative or the statewide UC-AFT office. You should be aware that there is a 30-day (for librarians) and 45-day (for NSF) time limit for filing a grievance.
