Meet your representatives!
UAW 4121 is run by and for Academic Student Employees, Postdocs, and Research Staff at UW. Members democratically elect Stewards, Head Stewards, and Executive Board members 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.
Find your department Steward and learn more below. Email uaw4121@uaw4121.org if you have questions or want to get more involved!
