The objective of this repository is to analyze the available data to inform the Uaw bargaining teams accross our 10 campuses
- Berkeley
- Davis
- Irvine
- Los Angeles
- Merced
- Riverside
- San Diego
- San Francisco
- Santa Barbara
- Santa Cruz
Our two goals is can be stated as follows:
- Base Salary Increase
- Yearly Salary Increase
There are two ways we can implement the Base Salary Increase and the Yearly Salary Increase:
- Standardized
- Localized
A Base Salary Increase without a Yearly Salary Increase will cause salaries to fall behind the cost of living over time.
A Yearly Salary Increase without a Base Salary Increase will cause salaries to lag behind the cost of living over time.
Salaries must match the current cost of living.
A one time increase of the current salaries to reflect accurately the cost of living.
Salaries must be adjusted yearly to reflect the corresponding increase in cost of living.
A yearly recurring percent increase in salary to reflect the the corresponding yearly increase in the cost of living.
The same Base Salary Increase and Yearly Salary Increase are applied to all campuses based on an aggregate cost of living index agreed upon by both parties
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Ease of implementation | Campuses benefit differentially |
Different Base Salary Increase and Yearly Salary Increase are applied to different campuses based on cost of living indices agreed upon by both parties
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| To each according to their need | Difficulty of implementation |
By how much does the Base Salary Increase and Yearly Salary Increase?
- This analysis can be found here.
- This analysis can be found here.
Thus, to summarize, our questions are:
- Should the Base Salary Increase be Localized or Standardized?
- Should the Yearly Salary Increase be Localized or Standardized?
- What should the Base Salary Increase be?
- What should the Yearly Salary Increase be?
Our option can be visualized as follows:

- We are struggling to find relavent data to our problematic, the UC should quantify the cost of living around the institution.
- Find alternative measures to quantify the cost of living accross campuses (e.g., CPI, 2BDR)
- Find distribution that best fits the yearly change in cost of living.
- Compare local v. standardized adjusted cost of living
