The Coalition of Alaska University Staff for Equity — or CAUSE — union representation vote will be held from March 18 through March 31, according to a news release from University of Alaska Human Resources on Jan. 23.
According to the update, eligible employees will receive voting instructions by email and may cast their vote online or by phone.
According to the UA Human Resources website, a “yes” vote supports UAW representation and union dues, while a “no” vote opposes union representation and would mean employees remain in direct relationship with UA.
“A strong turnout of YES votes for CAUSE-UAW will enable us to quickly certify our union and show we’re serious about bargaining for better working conditions,” according to the CAUSE website.
The site also states that vote results are expected to be tallied on April 1.
