UC Staff are invited to join CUCSA (Council of UC Staff Assemblies) for our spring UC-wide Townhall via Zoom on Thursday, June 3rd at 11:00AM. Although CUCSA is representative of policy-covered staff, all staff across the UC system are welcome to attend.
At this Townhall you’ll be able to see a little bit of UCSF, hear from this year’s delegation and learn more about our work to address some of the issues affecting staff at the UC. We’ll have final recommendations from the workgroups and impacts that have happened throughout the year.
There is a 300 person limit in the zoom room during the meeting; please be sure to register so that you are able to receive a link to the recorded session if unable to join live.
This year’s workgroup topics are:
- Flexible work with an emphasis on Telecommuting
- Staff Advocacy with an emphasis on Compensation
- Basic Needs with an emphasis on Mental Health
CUCSA is working hard to make UC a better place for all staff and we need your help to make it even better. We hope you’ll join us!
