About CUE
The Coalition of University Employees (CUE) is the independent, member-run union which was elected in November, 1997 by clerical employees throughout the UC system to represent them. CUE, which was founded in 1995, is made up entirely of UC clerical employees. We do the work that keeps this University going and makes it effective. We urge each and every UC clerical worker to join us, because a large and active membership is what we need to be successful.
CUE puts a high priority on informing and involving UC clericals. Issues we consider important include: fairly distributed wages that compensate for what we have lost to inflation; benefits, both preservation of existing ones and expansion to include better childcare provisions, for example; job security, including meaningful seniority rights and the conversion of casual employees to career status; improving the quality of our work lives, making sure that UC's work rules are reasonable and necessary; and equity, including affirmative action and equal pay for comparable worth.
Hudson Reports
The Hudson Report is a packet of information mandated by law to be sent to every member of the bargaining unit explaining rights and responsibilities concerning the fair share fee legislation. It includes an annual independent audit of the union's finances. This report is sent out to every non-member upon completion, and weekly to every new clerical employee. Printed copies are available through the statewide office.
