Forming a union is a democratic process.
We intend to obtain union recognition by having a majority of WWU Operational Student Employees (OSEs) sign union authorization cards. When a majority of us sign cards to authorize our representation by UAW, the Washington State Public Employee Relations Commission will count the cards and approve our petition to form a union. We the hope to begin bargaining with WWU. No one will pay any dues or fees until the collective bargaining agreement has been approved by a vote of OSEs.
The easiest way to sign an authorization card is online, which you can do here.
To sign the card in paper form, complete the form below to download a PDF of the authorization card, and then please print it and sign it with a pen. Please note, you MUST physically sign and date the card in order for it to be counted. We strongly recommend using a single pen with blue or black ink.
To return the card, you may either:
- Scan or photograph your card with the original signature and date and email it to card@wawu-union.org. Please make sure the photo is a high enough resolution to be read.
- Mail your original signature to us at:
Western Academic Workers United
104 W. Magnolia St. PO Box 2784
Bellingham, WA, 98227
If you have any questions about the card, please contact us!
