AFSCME 3299 reports 96.4% ratification after the planned May 14 UC strike was cancelled
AFSCME Local 3299 announced on May 13 that the planned May 14 systemwide UC strike was cancelled after a tentative agreement; the union described the affected service and patient-care technical workforce as more than 42,000 workers. On May 22, AFSCME reported 96.4% ratification.
Its published terms include a $1,500 lump sum for eligible non-probationary career workers, scheduled general and step increases, health-premium caps, job-security provisions, and staffing and development terms. These are union-reported results and terms.
The cited notices establish no FQHC patient spillover, hiring demand, or comparable FQHC wage. Talent teams may use them only as dated, UC bargaining-unit context. Before advising a candidate or workforce team, verify the exact unit, classification, campus or location, step, effective date, unit wage table, and a current employer-posted executed agreement when available.
Keep employee and union-membership records out of FQHC Talent.
Key takeaways
- The planned May 14 strike was cancelled before it began; AFSCME later reported 96.4% ratification.
- The published terms are specific to covered UC bargaining units, classifications, steps, locations, and effective dates.
- The cited primary sources do not prove FQHC patient spillover, hiring demand, or a comparable FQHC wage.
- Treat the union page as a dated report, not an executed employer contract; verify the current UC document and unit wage table before advising anyone.
