UAW Local 2865 is the Union representing over 12,000 Academic Student Employees (ASEs) -- Readers, Tutors, TAs, and others -- at the 9 teaching campuses of the University of California.

As they are for all employees, wages, benefits, workload, grievance procedures, and fair hiring processes are important issues of concern. The Union gives us the ability to bargain with UC on these and other issues, allowing us to have a real say in our lives as student employees.
