LOS ANGELES — Fifteen days into a strike across University of California system campuses, academic researchers and postdoctoral scholars have reached tentative agreements which include wage increases that reflect the cost of living, the United Auto Workers announced Tuesday.
Postdocs and academic researchers said they would continue the strike in solidarity with academic student workers and student workers who have not yet voted to ratify proposed agreements, according to UAW.
The agreement will be on new five-year contracts effective through Sept. 20, 2027, according to the University of California system. Postdocs will also now receive eight weeks of paid parental and family leave, double the 4 weeks they had prior to the agreement, according to UAW. Most academic researchers will receive 29% salary increases, which will vary by scale and merit, over the life of their contract. They will now receive full parental and family leave for eight weeks, compared to 70% pay which they currently receive, according to UAW.
