We urge you to consider running for one of these offices.

If you like to travel and meet other people we especially urge you to consider running for Executive Committee Representative. The face-to-face executive board meetings are inspirational events! Meet your counterparts from other campuses and help make the decisions that make our union RUN.

If you believe in CUE’s vision of economic and employment justice for UC clericals, if you have strong feelings about your working conditions, consider serving a term on the Bargaining Team. Bargainers use University-approved release time (approved time away from your university job) to travel to the various bargaining sites and the union pays for your travel. You get a chance to improve your life and the lives of your fellow clericals.

The current and outgoing officers stand ready to assist anyone who takes office as President or Vice-President to handle those duties in the beginning of their term. Our field representative can help in many ways, too. Feel free to call the Local Office at 831-420-0258.
