Employee and Labor Relations (ELR) is divided into three teams to help better serve Berkeley and its employees. Each team consists of Employee and Labor Relations Consultants who each have the ability to assist with labor or employee relations concerns, questions, or issues.

  • For questions or issues related to Represented Employees (union-covered employees, including students), contact the team assigned to the corresponding contract.
  • For questions or issues related to Non-Represented Employees (PSS, MSP, or SMG employees, student employees), contact the team assigned to the corresponding region.
    • If you are unsure of what Region you or an employee are a part of, please use the Region Finder tool to find out.
