ASE Orientation Dates

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.

The new worker orientation for GSIs will be: 
  • Friday, January 17, 2025, at the conclusion of the plenary session of the Spring 2025 Teaching Conference for First-time GSIs.
  • Details: Friday, January 17, 2025, 4:45 - 5:15 p.m., 155 Dwinelle Hall. 
Readers, Tutors, and GSRs do not attend the teaching conference. Instead, they will have a separate UAW orientation on a different day.
  • Details coming soon.

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.
