Another Runaround
Is In The Bag

Sunny skies and warm temperatures buffeted the nearly 780 runners and walkers that participated in the 26th annual Runaround last Friday. The male winner was once again Dula Parkinson, with Physical Biosciences, who completed the race in 10 minutes and 2 seconds. Susannah Tringe, with the Genomics Division, won the female side of the race with a time of 13:16. A complete wrap-up of the race , including a photo spread of the event, will appear in this Friday’s edtion of the View.

Negotiations Continue On
Unit 99 Election

Representatives from the University of California and the University Professional and Technical Employees (UPTE) are continuing to meet and discuss issues relative to the upcoming election for Administrative Professional employees, known collectively as Unit 99. Among the subjects being debated is the makeup of the unit, including which classifications should qualify for inclusion. An election by affected employees to determine whether or not they want to be represented by UPTE probably won’t take place before early next year. Updates will be posted on the UC "At Your Service" website, as well as the Lab's Human Resources website. Questions can be addressed to [email protected]
