We ratified our first LEO-GLAM contract!

We are pleased to announce that the contract was ratified by an overwhelming majority of 98.4% with a total 123 votes cast out of 135 eligible voters!

Now that we have our contract, it’s time for implementation! We’ll also be planning a ratification celebration very soon.

It is only through the action and commitment of all of our members that we have achieved these gains and won our very first fair contract, but our work continues!

7/15/22 LEO-GLAM Bargaining Recap

After over seven and a half months of bargaining, we are so proud to announce that the Bargaining Team has reached a full Tentative Agreement!

We achieved several important wins in the salary article, including parity in minimum salaries across all three campuses in the first year of the contract, guaranteed annual increases in each year, and equity increases to address historical disparities in our salaries. Over the three years, the contract will result in an overall increase of 17% to the salaries of LACs. This is an impressive figure for a first contract and a small bargaining unit.
