Elected Bargaining Team

The SRU bargaining team is comprised of two representatives from each campus responsible for negotiating a first collective bargaining agreement with the UC in 2022. Elections were held in January 2022. Get in touch with your Rep to find out how to participate and organize for a strong contract campaign!

Reach out to any member of the bargaining team by emailing info@studentresearchersunited.org.
