Graduate Assistant Union Election Update

On April 5, 2012, United Auto Workers/GSWU filed a Charge of Unfair Election Practices against the University of Minnesota. The union claims that the University’s activities prior to the March election affected the election outcome, where graduate assistants voted to remain in a non-union status. For more information, visit Graduate Assistant Resources.
