United Campus Workers of Iowa, supported by AFSCME and AAUP-ISU, are holding an event Wednesday, April 29th from 5-7pm for employees at ISU including graduate students, faculty, and staff. Snacks will be provided and you can RSVP with your non-university email here. We’ll have socializing until 5:30, a 30 minute talk, followed by discussions of common issues faced by employees.

In the last few years, workers at Iowa State University, University of Iowa and University of Northern Iowa have formed a union with the Communication Workers of America (CWA) called United Campus Workers of Iowa. 

We’re inviting workers to get involved with shaping our public universities into workplaces we are proud of while education and our livelihoods are under attack. 

Our union is wall-to-wall and is intended for those workers not already covered by collective bargaining agreements, including graduate students, faculty, and P&S staff. We encourage merit staff to join AFSCME.

Learn more about your union and join today - ucwiowa.org.

DM if you have any questions or reach out via our website to learn more.

EDIT: info for concurrent events at UIowa and UNI.

- UIowa: supported by Campaign to Organize Graduate Students (COGS) and will be at Iowa City Public library room D (same time and day)

- UNI: Supported by United Faculty and will be at Maucker Union Elm Room (same time and day)
