What do I do if I have a problem?

ASEs, Postdocs, and Research Staff have strong rights and protections under our collective bargaining agreements. We have a solid track record of resolving problems successfully, usually quickly and informally. If you have a concern, problem, or question about any aspect of your work, please email contractenforcement(at)uaw4121(dot)org or fill out the form below. Contact Contract Enforcement Work Group before trying to resolve the issue – even before initiating an informal discussion with your supervisor or department –  so that you get the best possible advice and are sure to preserve your rights. A member of the Contract Enforcement Working Group will get back to you within 24 hours to answer your questions, provide support, and ensure your rights are being upheld.
