A representative from the Alaska Public Employees Association (APEA) was in attendance at the June Staff Council meeting. She informed staff council that the APEA union is now contemplating organizing the non-represented supervisory staff at the university. The APEA has received a list from Human Resources of staff members the university considers to be supervisors.
An email, with a survey, will be sent out to these individuals. The purpose of the email is to determine whether or not there is a climate to organize. The union is requesting everyone who receives the survey to complete and submit for processing. The representative has stated that if there is not a desire amongst the supervisory staff to organize the issue will be dropped, but the only way to determine this is to receive completed surveys by all affected staff.
The University of Alaska regents believe that “the opportunity for faculty, staff and students to participate in the governance of the university is important to its effective operation.” UAF Staff Council is your “opportunity” to participate in governance and contribute to the future of our university.
