We were proud to stand with @capsscientists members yesterday at the capitol rallying for fair wages and an end to the RTO mandate. With members of @SEIU1000 standing in solidarity, this was an incredible display of #LaborPower.

"@capsscientists, UAW Local 1115, organized the picket after the legislature did not include raises for the scientists in this year’s budget — something union president Jacqueline Tkac said is outlined in their contract." ow.ly/JW5Q50ZxJwU

Today, @SEIU1000 took over the State Capitol to send a message to the Governor to agree to a fair contract that includes wage increases that address increasing cost of living, improvements to healthcare, and telework protections! The @CaliforniaLabor movement stands with all of our state workers and will keep showing up in solidarity until they win the contract they deserve!

Through our collective actions, CAPS-UAW Scientists reached an agreement with the state to suspend the administration’s 4-day Return to Office (RTO), with no strings attached. Together, we committed to protecting our rights and refused to trade the RTO delay for salary cuts.

news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-… One of the few unions subject to Gov. Newsom’s return-to-office mandate says it’s being “singled out” and “retaliated” against for not re-opening its labor contract in exchange for concessions. “We will continue to organize and enforce our rights,” the California Association of Professional Scientists said. “We are literally a group of mad scientists.”

The Governor proposed balancing California’s 2025–2026 budget on the backs of State Workers. 

We ask CAPS-UAW members attend the budget subcommittees meetings or call legislators who will debate the governor's May Revise. linktr.ee/capsscientists
