The CX unit is made up of more than 22,000 clerical workers and administrative professionals at all UC campuses and medical centers throughout the state of California.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis agreement is better than anything we\u2019ve ever dreamed of and is the best deal I have seen in 28 years as a member of the CX unit,\u201d said Toni Mendicino, an administrative officer 2 at UC Berkeley and Local 2010 steward. \u201cThis sets a standard for public employers across the country and is incredibly meaningful for us \u2014 the lucky clericals, childcare workers, and cashiers \u2014 who make the UC succeed!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new contract provides unprecedented economic gains and benefits protections, including an immediate seven percent raise retroactive to July 1, a $1,500 lump-sum ratification payment, compounded raises totaling an average of 37 percent over the five years of the agreement, and a longevity bonus. The contract also contains numerous other improvements, such as stronger caps on increases to workers\u2019 health care premiums, employer-provided subsidies for certain health plans, caps on parking fee increases, an additional paid personal day for all workers, and three additional days of bereavement leave.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis historic contract represents the strongest collective bargaining agreement in the history of the CX unit,\u201d said Jason Rabinowitz, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 2010. \u201cWe won by standing together as Teamsters and building our union into a powerhouse for workers\u2019 rights. Congratulations to all our members and our elected bargaining team for their strength and determination. When we fight, we win!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teamsters Local 2010 represents 28,000 hard-working employees at the University of California system, California State University system, and the Los Angeles Unified School District.
