UC-AFT Local 2226

The University Council-AFT is the governance body of the nine campus locals of lecturers and librarians employed by the UC system. UC-AFT is the bargaining agent for Librarians (Unit 17) and Lecturers (Unit 18) system-wide.  Although senate faculty are not currently protected by a collective bargaining agreement with the University, many belong to the UC-AFT for other reasons: legal protections, member benefits provided by CFT and AFT, and/or a political allegiance to the labor movement. The UC-AFT meets quarterly, and consists of the elected statewide officers of the council in addition to representatives from each UC-AFT campus local.
