The UC workforce has a churn problem. Relatively low pay and little job stability are some of the reasons why, a CalMatters analysis shows. If lecturers strike, more than a third of classes will be canceled. Without lecturer reviews, the UC could just hire inexperienced lecturers or renew ineffective ones, she said. Natalie Lim, another UCLA student at the protest, held a sign calling for multi-year contracts for lecturers. The latest UC offer would go a long way to assuring more job stability for lecturers, but with key caveats.
The system now proposes three types of contracts of increasing length that add up to six years: a one-year contract, then a two-year contract and finally a three-year contract. None of those came with any promise of evaluations. The UC is also proposing a formal review before the three-year contract, the first such offer in these negotiations and a big win for lecturers.
Because the average duration for a lecturer at the UC is two years, having job security earlier in their tenures would likely go a long way to lowering lecturer churn. But even the new review process after three years comes with asterisks that alarm the union.
McIver said that may look fair, but what happens if the department decides to keep the class anyway? Other lecturers would get additional bumps and extra merit pay. The UC argues it offers some of the best pay to lecturers among top research universities. And many lecturers work one term but not the next.
Another major issue is how much a lecturer is paid per class. The union is upset that the same classes can be counted as, for example, one-seventh of full-time work or one-ninth depending on the campus. We will focus on projects, west of King Road:.
