UCLA Employees March in Protest
over Proposed Salary Cuts & Furloughs!

Dear UPTE Employees,

Here is a report on the mobilizing event that the union coalition held at Pauley Pavilion on June 24 before the Town Hall Meeting concerning the budget on June 24. We had well over 2,500 union members turnout for the event, and over 100 marched with pickets by the building's entrance.  

We had media coverage from ABC, the Daily Bruin and the Los Angeles Times.  The L.A. Times' article is here:

For more facts, here are 2 flyers to review, and to print out and share with your coworkers and your state legislators and senators:

We hope that the action sent the message to UC that UCLA's union-represented employees will not accept any furloughs or salary cuts and UPTE will continue fighting as long and hard as our brothers and sisters in the other UC Unions who are threatened as well!

Below are some pictures from the event.  Thank you to all who participated.
