University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh Chancellor Richard Wells said he supports a state Senate bill that would give faculty and academic staff members at University of Wisconsin institutions the right to organize unions.
The bill, sponsored by Sens. Mike Ellis, R-Neenah, Dale Schultz, R-Richland Center, and Daniel Kapanke, R-La Crosse would not automatically unionize faculty and academic staff members. Instead, it would give groups at each university in the UW-System the ability to vote on whether or not to organize.
