Agenda:
-general

Local 1914 represents all non-academic employees of the University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire, Wisconsin and state employees in Eau Claire, Chippewa, Rusk, Clark and Taylor counties, except those employees in the jurisdiction of other AFSCME local unions.  Approximately 300 workers are represented by Local 1914 in Administrative Support, Blue Collar and Non-Building Trades, Technical,  and Security and Public Safety classifications.  We negotiate wages, hours, working conditions, and represent people who have a grievance with management.

We are a democratically run membership organization. Monthly meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month, 5:30 p.m. at the Labor Temple Lounge, 2233 Birch Street, Eau Claire  WI.  The best way to ensure that the union represents your views is to become a member and participate in meetings. That’s where issues are voted on and decisions are made.

Tell your supervisor that you want to meet with your steward "about a possible grievance." Stewards are trained in the contract, and will be able to give your problem the attention it needs. Your supervisor doesn’t have the right to ask you why, and must set up a private meeting in a timely manner on work time (In paid status). Ideally, and whenever possible, these meetings should be scheduled for the next day after the request is made when both employees are scheduled to work. However, it is understood that this is not always possible due to real operational needs. If your supervisor tells you to set up the meeting yourself, says no steward is available, call a Local 1914 officer or executive board member and we will trouble-shoot the problem. Also contact one of these people with address changes, membership problems, and general questions or if you're not sure where to go for help.
