AFSCME Local 3299 Action Center
Protect Our Voice in Health Care

Our union's Skilled Crafts Unit at UC Santa Cruz is 3299's last bargaining unit to complete contract negotiations. For several months, Skilled Crafts workers have been pushing for basic protections on pension and health care. UCSC Management is proposing to take away Skilled Crafts' voice in healthcare, denying them the same rights we recently won in Service and Patient Care.

Sample Letter for Campaign

Subject: Skilled Crafts Workers Deserve a Fair Contract

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

I am shocked to learn that UCSC has proposed to deny Skilled Crafts worker their voice in health care benefits.

I will stand by my Skilled Crafts brothers and sisters until they win the fair contract they deserve.

Skilled Crafts Workers at UC Santa Cruz deserve a voice in their benefits, just like UC agreed to for Patient Care and Service!

Sincerely,

Background Information

We cannot allow UC to deny any of our union brothers and sisters a voice in their benefits.
