From the Daily Bruin: Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed a Senate bill Friday that would have required
the University of California to pay contracted workers the same wages
and benefits as existing University-hired employees. The bill, proposed by Sen. Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens) in April,
would have also raised total compensation for contracted employees to
match that of the UC employees who perform comparable work at the
relevant campus, medical center or laboratory. Earlier this month, UC President Janet Napolitano sent a letter to
Brown urging him to veto the bill. The University predicted the bill
would cost between $48 and $60 million annually, although the American
Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees 3299, which
represents UC service workers and patient care workers, claimed the bill
would cost about $9 million annually...
