UAW Orientations are mandatory for new employees.
Academic Student Employees and Graduate Student Researchers are required to attend an Employee Orientation with representatives from UAW 2865, the union of Student Researchers and Academic Student Employees at UC. At this orientation, union leaders will familiarize you with your rights, protections, and benefits as a worker under the UC-UAW 2865 Collective Bargaining Agreements.

If you are unable to attend the orientation during the teaching conference, you should register at this link for a make-up orientation.
According to the UC-UAW 2865 Collective Bargaining Agreements, found here for ASEs, and here for SRs, all job-related training, including this orientation, count as paid time. If you fill out a timesheet, log 30 minutes for the orientation. Please contact berkeley@uaw2865.org if you have any questions.
