I joined Staff Assembly to make sure my voice is heard and see that staff issues are addressed. Having worked on campus for many years, I wish I joined Staff Assembly sooner! If you want to know what's going on with staff salaries, benefits, or any UC policy Staff Assembly has a collective knowledge that spans decades.
