WHO WE ARE

Founded in 2004, UAW Local 4123 represents over 10,000 Academic Student Employees (ASEs) — Teaching Associates (TA or GTA), Graduate Assistants (GA) and Instructional Student Assistants (ISA Tutors/Graders/SI Leaders) — across the 23 campuses of the California State University system.

We are state bargaining Unit 11.
​A strong, vocal union membership equals success in negotiating wages, benefits, workload protections, and fair hiring processes. As unionized employees, we gain the ability to bargain with CSU on these and other issues, allowing us to have a real say in our lives as student employees. You can strengthen our voice by getting involved!
