What Berkeley Lab Employees Need to Know
If There Is An AFSCME Strike on Thursday
AFSCME, the union representing service employees in negotiations with the University of California, has provided notice of its intent to strike tomorrow over what they perceive as failures at the bargaining table in negotiating a new contract. The University considers this an illegal strike since it is being called during the collective bargaining process, which has yet to include mediation and impasse proceedings.
Nonetheless,
some services may be disrupted if some of the nearly 120
Berkeley Lab employees who are members of the union choose
not to report to work. This group includes the bus and
truck drivers, custodians, materials transporters, laborers,
and technical assistants. Normal services in all the above
areas should resume on Friday. Go here
to see University of California documents about the contract
negotiations with AFSCME and the anticipated strike. Contingency
plans are in place to minimize impacts on Laboratory activities,
in the following areas:

Gate Access to the Lab
The
main Blackberry gate will be open during normal
hours tomorrow. The Grizzly Gate on Centennial Drive
will also be open throughout the day to accommodate
Laboratory employees. The
Strawberry Gate off Centennial, however, will be
available only to contractor employees and delivery
vehicles and will not admit Lab employees. Strawberry
will be designated as a "reserve" gate for business
and vendor service access only on Thursday.
Custodial
Services
Custodial
and janitorial service is expected to be minimal.
Most rest rooms will be cleaned, but offices may
not receive waste pick-up services on Thursday.
UC
Statement Regarding
Service Workers' Strike
The
University of California issued a statement today
about the impending Thursday strike by AFSCME, which
UC considers "not only unlawful and unprotected
under the Higher Education Employer-Employee Relations
Act (HEERA), but also clearly demonstrates bad faith
bargaining by the union." Because other UC
unions have indicated their intent to join in “sympathy”
with AFSCME, the university has sent letters to
union leaders reminding them of their legal obligation
to adhere to the no-strikes provisions in their
contracts. Full statement.

Bus and Shuttle Services
Limited
bus service is anticipated during the strike. Two
buses will serve the Hearst Street route in 20-minute
intervals, subject to further delays. Only one on-site
bus will be in operation, also running at 20-minute
intervals. There will be no Bancroft Bus, Rockridge
Bus, or Potter Street bus operating on Thursday.
Those who commute via the Rockridge BART station
should continue riding BART to the downtown Berkeley
station and board the Laboratory shuttle there.
If personnel are available, the bus service will
be expanded during the day.
Receiving and Transportation
Some service from outside companies who deliver packages and materials to the Laboratory may be interrupted or delayed. However, the Receiving and Transportation Department will be open to provide the highest level of service possible to the Laboratory. If employees are expecting an important package or material, they should call x4935 for the expected delivery date and time.
If possible, non-essential deliveries should be postponed to another day. All perishable shipments will be delivered to the customer. Employees who would like to retrieve small packages at Building 69 should call ahead (x4935) to ensure the package has been received and processed. If so, it will be available for pick-up between 12:30 and 3:30 p.m.
