The University of Wisconsin System?s Board of Regents and the Office of State Employment Relations filed a motion in Dane County Circuit Court last month asking that the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission be ordered to stop moving forward with plans to hold unit clarification hearings for academic staff working on six UW System campuses.
….”The vast majority of academic staff at UW-Madison support and are pleased to see this court filing by UW System and OSER,” says Heather Daniels, a program specialist in UW-Madison’s Graduate School who is chair of the Academic Staff Executive Committee.
Indeed, virtually all academic staff on the UW-Madison campus have long been against being absorbed into unions without getting a vote on the matter.
