We inform, connect and celebrate UC’s workforce and provide end-to-end strategic communications services for labor relations and union-related issues.
Employee and Labor Communications develops and delivers strategic communications that reinforce UC’s reputation as the state’s second largest employer and a leading public institution. The team helps UC employees and retirees better understand and maximize the benefits of working at UC and fosters belonging and a shared sense of purpose at UCOP and among more than 266,000 faculty and staff and 75,000 retirees across the system.
