The time is now. There is no “later”. What we do between now and June 5th will make the difference in electing a Governor, Lt. Governor and State Senate who will listen to constituents and work to reclaim Wisconsin. |

If you haven't yet done so, you can join your fellow academic staff and faculty as part of UFAS AFT Local 223 today by completing and returning our online application. If you support UFAS's fight to protect higher education and restore the collective bargaining rights of faculty and academic staff, please remember: all of this happens because of the commitment of members. So take a step in support of our work and join today! *Individuals who are paid 12 months per year can look their gross monthly salary above and determine the amount of dues to pay in that group. Members who are paid on the academic calendar year (i.e. 9 months per year) will pay 75% of what is listed above. 9-month employees should calculate their dues rate as follows: (Monthly Salary Amount) x 0.75 = Adj. Salary Amount For example, if you are paid based on the academic year and your gross monthly salary is $4267.43, you would calculate your dues as follows: $4267.43 monthly salary multiplied by 0.75 (75%) = $3200.57. |

In response to a legal challenge by the American Federation of Teachers (of which UFAS is a part) and six other public employee unions, U.S. District Judge William M. Conley struck down parts of Governor Walker's anti-union "budget repair" law in March 2012. Judge Conley found that the legislation violated union members' equal protection and First Amendment rights. Learn more about the ruling and what it means for UW academic staff and faculty at two AFT informational meetings on the UW-Madison campus April 18 and 19, 2012 (see calendar for details). |

United Faculty & Academic Staff (UFAS), AFT 223, is actively working with our brothers and sisters in the labor movement, including the Teaching Assistants' Association (TAA), AFT 3220, and the American Federation of Teachers, with whom we are affiliated, to stop Governor Scott Walker's radical and extremist attack on the civil rights of Wisconsin public employees to bargain collectively.
