Reasons to get involvedBecome InformedParticipation in local meetings and knowing who to contact is one of the best ways to become aware of the rights and appropriate responsibilities of employment at Iowa State. Assuring proper procedures are followed regarding work rules, transfer opportunities, layoffs and a host of other areas can get complicated for someone to manage on their own. Working together with co-workers at ISU allows for direct support with information and effective advocacy when needed. Effectiveness at BargainingClout at the bargaining table with management and balancing the interests of other employee groups is a function of who is involved and the strength of participation through membership. Selection as a negotiator on the state-wide bargaining team is apportioned based on number of members for each employee unit. The interests of members are given priority when bargaining, and the more members involved, the more effective we will be in demonstrating interest in improved working conditions, wages and benefits.
