Administrative MessageJuly 10, 2008To: UC Santa Cruz Academic and Staff Employees From: David S. Kliger, Campus Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Re: Campus makes plans for 5-day AFSCME strikeThe union representing Service and Patient Care Technical employees (AFSCME) has announced its intention to conduct a 5-day UC system-wide strike, beginning Monday, July 14. While I am hopeful that contract negotiations will be resolved soon, I ask for your cooperation to ensure we maintain our commitments to our students, our conference guests, and to the campus community in the event of a strike. I am sending out this message so that you can plan accordingly. It is essential that all employees understand their rights and the obligations of the University when considering whether to participate in a strike or honor a picket line. The University expects all faculty, staff, academic and student employees to meet their normal obligations to the University in the event of a strike. Those who do not report to work will not be paid unless prior approval for a legitimate absence has been granted. Those who call in sick on the day of a strike are required to provide documentation from a health care provider to receive approval for the absence. We have posted a web site that contains important information for all employees and their supervisors. The Public Information Office will post transportation, on-campus dining, and other strike-related updates to this site as that information becomes available: Strike-day information will also be available on the campus's communication hotline (459-INFO), and will be forwarded to KZSC Radio (88.1 FM) for broadcast. If you have any questions, please contact the campus Labor Relations Office at 459-2017. Additional information from the Office of the President is available at:
