Yesterday, UCSC and UAW 2865 announced that they had reached an agreement to allow for eligibility for re-employment of academic student employees who were dismissed for their failure to submit grades during the 2019-20 academic year. More information is available from media coverage of this story via the Santa Cruz Sentinel.

The COLA issue and the subsequent strikes have been of great concern to CUCFA (see our earlier posts: “UC’s Cost of Living Crisis at UCSC and Across the System” and “President Napolitano, please extend striking student health insurance for COVID-19“).
