What is the process that will determine whether the research assistants (RAs) will join a union and which union would represent them?
Unions interested in representing RAs will need to ask RAs to sign cards stating that the signer wishes to be represented by that particular union. If an RA wants to be represented by the union, he or she should sign the card. If an RA does not want to be represented by the union, he or she should not sign a card. Any union that collects signed cards from more than 50 percent of the RAs will be certified by the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission (WERC) as the official representative of the RAs.
