UC DECLARES IMPASSE WITH CLERICAL UNION; STATE-APPOINTED MEDIATOR TO HELP RESOLVE REMAINING ISSUES

University of California officials announced today (Aug. 23) that the Public Employment Relations Board has certified UC's request to declare that its negotiations with the Coalition of University Employees, the union representing UC's clerical staff, are at an impasse.

PERB will now appoint a mediator to help the parties resolve the remaining issues that have stalled progress to negotiations, which began over a year ago.

"We are pleased that the existence of an impasse has been certified and we are hopeful that a mediator will help us reach a fair contract for our clerical employees," said Howard Pripas, UC executive director of labor relations.
