Welcome to the UC-AFT Local 2141 Homepage
The University Council-American Federation of Teachers (UC-AFT) has been the union of Lecturers and Librarians at UC since 1982. Our mission is to improve the working conditions of Non-Senate Faculty (NSF) within the UC system. We negotiated and ratified the original Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in 1986, and successor agreements since then. Recent negotiations established the first ever indefinite contract for Lecturers (2003) and significant pay increases for all Lecturers (2007). Our daily efforts are focused on assisting our members, enforcing our contract, and building a stronger union. Our union is run by an elected Executive Board and a volunteer system-wide Council. We have an Executive Director based in Oakland and a staff member working on every campus. UC-AFT is affiliated with the California Federation of Teachers and the American Federation of Teachers.
