UC Berkeley Forced to Cut 500 Jobs After $15 Minimum Wage Hike
Nanette Asimov reports at SF Gate,
Chancellor Nicholas Dirks sent a memo to employees Monday informing them of the job reductions and said they will amount to “a modest reduction of 6 percent of our staff workforce.”
Berkeley employs about 8,500 staffers, from custodians to administrators. Faculty members will not be affected. Dirks said the reductions will be done in part through attrition and did not mention layoffs.
But the campus is in the process of laying off about 60 employees, spokesman Dan Mogulof said without identifying the departments they’re from.
