Navigating Harassment and Discrimination at University of California through UAW 4811's Abusive Conduct Contract Provisions

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The Respectful Work Environment (RWE) provisions in the recent University of California labor agreements with graduate students and postdocs have proven useful in addressing harassment and discrimination in new and perhaps more effective ways than either previous contract provisions or university policies and procedures. The authors describe how the new RWE provisions work and provide several illustrative case studies.
