Campaign Update
The drive for recognition for the first USU bargaining unit – Student and Instructional Services – has been heating up this summer.
Summer house visits
You might wonder why members of the USU Organizing Committee are visiting your house. In short, house visits are one of the most effective ways to reach everyone, and they allow an opportunity to talk about the union without the potentially uncomfortable presence of supervisors. To learn more about house visits, please visit this FAQ.
