From OC to LA to Sacramento, UPTE members who care for patients, conduct research, and power technology across the University of California spoke with neighbors about voting for pro-worker candidates on November 3. Only 7 days left!

The Bay Area needs a representative who will amplify worker voices when national decisions are being made. @conniechansf has proven to be that person. We’re proud to stand with her alongside Congresswoman @PramilaJayapal on her road to be San Francisco’s next member of Congress.

🏟️ UCSF social workers are covering our bases as we pressure UC to end the two-tier system that puts workers & patients at risk. We distributed flyers at Giants Stadium last week to remind UCSF that while they may be sponsoring the ball game, they’re understaffing their clinics!

After 9 months of inaction to address safety concerns following the death of Alberto Rangel, social workers gathered with electeds and supporters for a “Hands Around Ward 86" vigil. Despite audits and fines against UCSF, little has changed. We're keeping up the pressure. 🤞

In San Francisco, hundreds of UPTE members came together from across California for our 2026 Statewide Workplace Representative Council. We emerged with more skills shared among us — and more motivation to continue winning on the issues that matter most to our 29,000 members. 💪

Our labor makes UC the world-class institution it is. Our union makes it possible for us to deliver the best care, research, and education that Californians deserve. We're in this together. ✊

UC fooled around and found out! 👊 Healthcare, research, and technical workers across University Health Services at UC Berkeley stood up to unilateral changes to working conditions that drastically reduced work/life balance and risked disrupting continuity of student care.

By taking action, we reduced the onsite mandate from 9 to 7 weeks and secured financial compensation for impacted staff.

STOP THE LAYOFFS! Members of UPTE, @afscme3299, and @ibtlocal2010 stood in solidarity with workers who were laid off en masse at UCLA Health Venice Family Clinic centers.

These workers—including two UPTE members who serve unhoused and food insecure patients—are critical for individual, family, and community health. We stand together.

REVERSE THE LAYOFFS! 🔄 Just weeks after 2,100 IT workers across UC joined our union, UCLA Digital & Technology Solutions laid off 27 workers, including 10 of our newly-represented members.

UCLA leaders did not provide advance notice or alternatives to layoffs in the ways required by our contract. At the same time, @UCLA is $93 MILLION over budget for a tech project that is STILL incomplete after 7 years.

We call on UCLA leadership to bring back these critical workers that students and faculty rely on.
