Attention UAW 4121 Members,
The Elections Committee was recently notified of an error in how open steward positions were calculated. The previously announced open positions were calculated using the number of members when they should’ve been calculated based on the total number of ASEs, PDs, & RSEs (regardless of membership status). The table below summarizes the changes:
| Previously Announced # of Positions | Adjusted # of Open Positions |
|---|---|
| 63 total ASE Steward | 110 total ASE Steward positions |
| 66 total Postdoc Steward | 89 total Postdoc Steward positions |
| 50 total RSE Steward | 80 total RSE Steward positions available |
| 4 ASE Head Steward | 8 ASE Head Steward |
| 1 PD Head Steward | 2 PD Head Steward |
| 1 RSE Head Steward | This was an error, there are no RSE Head Steward positions available at this time. |
The Fall 2024 List of Vacant Positions has been updated to reflect these new available positions. Please review to see if your specific unit/department has had additional positions become available.
Since this update has generally led to more positions becoming available (only one announced position has been removed), the timeline for accepting nominations will not change:
- Nomination Period: 9am Monday, October 21 – 5pm Friday, October 25
- Candidate Statements Collection (for contested positions): 9am Monday, October 28 – 5pm Friday, November 1
- Voting (for contested positions): 9am Monday, November 4 – 5pm Wednesday, November 6
- Runoff (if needed): 9am Friday, November 8 – 5pm Wednesday, November 13
All nomination and voting/runoff periods close at 5:00 PM PDT/PST.
If you have questions or concerns, please email the Election Committee at elections@uaw4121.org.
In solidarity,
UAW 4121 Elections Committee 2024-2025
