Overview

• Workers called off their nearly two-week strike at 6 a.m. Monday after a federal judge denied an injunction to halt UCSF’s integration plan.
• The union has filed a motion to compel arbitration, with a hearing scheduled for July 17 to determine if the plan violates existing contracts.
• On July 6, staff will be reclassified as UC employees, union contracts will be canceled and benefit contributions will increase, cutting take-home pay by about $10,000 annually.
• Strike action led to the closure of most outpatient clinics across the East Bay and prompted rescheduling of elective procedures and a shift to telehealth.
• UCSF maintains that unifying the workforce will streamline operations and provide access to a more valuable pension and comprehensive long-term benefits.
