Leadership
This page will be updated soon with results of the November 2020 Steward and Vacancies Elections. In the meantime, you can access the results of those elections here.
Meet your representatives!
UAW 4121 is run by and for Academic Student Employees and Postdocs at UW. Members democratically elect ASEs and Postdocs who coordinate and implement Local organizing and bargaining strategies, enforce our contracts and support members through grievances, and carry out the day-to-day business of the Local. Working groups are open to all members, and to get involved you can email each group at the links below. Through working groups, members develop ongoing campaigns focused on specific issues, such as international scholars, improving equity at UW, and environmental justice.
Find your department steward and learn more below. Email uaw4121@uaw4121.org if you have questions or want to get more involved!
