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

Dear UPTE Employees,

Here is a report on the mobilizing event that the union coalition held at NPI and at the UCLA Medical Center on July 15 before the UC Regents voted to accept UC President Yudof's power grab to impliment unecessary furloughs and salary cuts.  We had well over 500 union members turnout for the 90 minute event including marching with pickets by the building's entrances.  

We had media coverage from KNX radio, LA18 television, the Daily Bruin, the Los Angeles Daily News and the Los Angeles Times.  The L.A. Times' article is here:

We know 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.
