Here's how you can help:
- Sign the "Statement of Opposition to Unionization of the Faculty of the University of Washington"
- It's important to demonstrate that a majority of the UW faculty does not support SEIU unionization at this time!
- Speak with your colleagues, explaining why this decision matters to them, and why you believe that SEIU unionization of the UW faculty at this time is not the right choice
- Consider the arguments here
- Refer your colleagues to the UW Excellence website: http://uwexcellence.org
- Refer your colleagues to our Seattle Times op-ed: "Unionization is like throwing sand in the gears of what is, by any measure, an institution that performs at an extraordinarily high level"
- Refer your colleagues to our fact sheet "Fact-Checking the SEIU Faculty Forward Salary Report"
- Refer your colleagues to our fact sheet "Is the Service Employees International Union Right for UW Faculty?"
- Refer your colleagues to the facts behind the January 19 faculty survey
- Refer your colleagues to an example of "congenial relations" between union leadership and university administration at Rutgers - advanced by SEIU Faculty Forward as a model for UW
