Pay raise update!
After months of lobbying legislators, making phone calls, sending emails, and organizing public events from the Capitol Steps to campuses across the state, we now know that the new state budget includes a 2.5% raise for all higher education workers. We know that UT workers will again receive a minimum of at least $1,000. These are positive steps forward that have only happened through our work to win fair pay for all campus workers. But pushes for flat dollar raises, living wages and equal pay for equal work in higher education are ramping up.
We need your involvement in these efforts. Visit the union’s webpage and contact us today at fairness@ucw-cwa.org to find out how you can help! And spread the word on social media here!
