Graduate Assistant Unionization

On January 17, 2012, University of Minnesota graduate students filed cards with the Bureau of Mediation Services beginning a process by which all current graduate assistants will decide whether or not to become members of the United Auto Workers (UAW). As this process moves forward, it is important that each of you participate in this election because those who vote will determine the outcome for everyone in the group.

For more information, visit the online Frequently Asked Questions or send an email to ohr@umn.edu.
