The UECE 6424 contract has been signed and, by now, should have been distributed to the majority of members. If you have not yet received your copy, ask your site leader for one.

In addition, we urge all members to become familiar with the new contract. Many things have changed and it is crucial for you to know your rights as well as your responsibilities as a Union Member.

We will also be posting the new contract on the website as well so feel free to check it out on-line too.

A coalition of unions including AFT-Wisconsin filed a lawsuit over the controversial law last year.  The court ruled that the state cannot prevent public employee unions from collecting voluntary dues through payroll deductions and cannot require that they recertify annually.  To read a Wisconsin State Journal article about the decision and to read a copy of the decision itself,  Click Here. 

Update (5/2/12) -- The Walker administration appealed the court's decision regarding annual recertifications and paycheck deductions.  The administration also asked for a temporary stay of these decisions.  In a somewhat confusing ruling, the judge denied the request for a stay regarding payroll deductions and he also ruled that going forward, the State could NOT require annual recertifications.  However, he left in place the recertification elections that were already required (and held).  The next step is circuit court for the appeals which our attorney estimates could take 6 to 9 months.
