Understanding Collective Bargaining Units
The University of California has 19 systemwide collective bargaining units and one local bargaining unit—the Teamsters K4 Unit—that are at various stages of the collective bargaining process. Throughout the bargaining cycle, activities may include successor contract negotiations, contract extensions, tentative agreements, ratification votes, implementation of negotiated contract provisions, and ongoing labor-management discussions.
