Indicator 7.2Union representation, Universitywide, Fall 1990, 2000 and 2010
The proportion of unionized staff members (excluding student employees) grew from 55 percent in 1990 to 61 percent in 2000, and fell back to 56 percent in 2010.1
The increasing professionalization of the UC workforce, leading to reductions in clerical and support staff, explains much of the decline in the proportion of unionized staff between 2000 and 2010.
1 Since student staff employees are not eligible for unionization, the proportion of unionized staff is calculated based on nonstudent employees.
