Teamsters Propose 76.96% Wage Increase

UCLA and Teamsters Local 2010 worked separately, in caucus, on March 9, 2026, and met together at the bargaining table on March 10, 2026. When the parties met on March 10th, Teamsters Local 2010 made an economic presentation to the University, which was accompanied by a proposal to establish an Equity Review Committee—for which the Union stated that it would not provide information as to which classifications require review and at what cost—and a proposal for a 76.96% across-the-board wage increase:

• Article 45 (Wages)
  • Across-the-board increases annually of 26%, 14%, 12%, and 10%, at a total compounded cost of approximately $46,417,700 over current wages, during the lifetime of a 4-year agreement 

These economic proposals do not represent the entirety of the outstanding economic items for which the parties have yet to reach mutual agreement. On March 10, 2026, the parties also reached tentative agreement as to the following items: Article 8 (Personnel Files), Article 9 (Apprentices), and Article 25 (Discipline and Dismissal).

The University looks forward to continuing productive negotiations with Teamsters during the next bargaining session, which is scheduled to occur on March 16, 2026.
