California Nurses Association Contract Ratified
The agreement UC recently reached with the California Nurses Association (CNA) has been ratified. The contract maintains competitive market wages and benefits for UC nurses, recognizing both the difficult financial environment the University is in and the unique nursing markets in which we operate. Once finalized, the full contract will be posted on the UC website at
http://atyourservice.ucop.edu/employees/policies_employee_labor_relations/collective_bargaining_units/nurses_nurse/agreement.html
Meanwhile, here are some highlights for UCSF nurses in the CNA unit:
- A 3 percent salary range increase effective May 29, 2011, plus a 4 percent salary range increase in both February 2012 and February 2013
- An increase to the charge nurse differential from $2.20 to $2.50 effective May 29, 2011
- Step increases for eligible nurses in July 2011 and July 2012
- Continued access to excellent health insurance with:
- Guaranteed limits/bargaining triggers regarding annual health insurance premium increases – nurse costs toward premiums may not increase more than 10 percent without bargaining
- UC continuing to pay the vast majority of health insurance premium costs―at least 85 percent
- UC continuing its progressive salary-based approach to health insurance whereby lower-paid employees pay lower monthly premiums than other employees
- Continued excellent pension benefits, with nurses increasing their annual contributions to the UC Retirement Plan at the same rate as other UC employees: 3.5 percent of annual salary on July 1, 2011, and 5 percent on July 1, 2012. (UC also will be increasing how much it contributes as well, raising its contributions to 7 percent on July 1, 2011 and to 10 percent on July 1, 2012).
If you have any questions, contact your assigned Labor and Employee Relations Analyst.
