Concerned about layoffs?  Sign the petition today!

For the last year, UC Hastings has been threatening layoffs creating uncertainty and insecurity around campus.   Despite continued promises from Hastings at the bargaining table to make the upcoming layoffs as painless as possible through additional compensation for laid-off workers and subsequent reassurances post-contract, we are now faced with Hastings reneging on their commitment to the dedicated, hard-working staff at Hastings.

We need to let Hastings leadership know that we expect them to do the right thing by keeping their word to minimize the effects of layoffs!   Contact your Member Action Team (MAT) leader today to sign the petition!
