Voting Now to Be by Mail-in Ballot

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

Voting Now to Be by Mail-in Ballot

We reached an agreement to permit

a mail-in ballot election so that

all eligible RTPC faculty have the opportunity to vote.

Your ballot will be mailed to your home address at the end of the day on Friday, April 24, 2026.

To ensure that you receive it:

	Check Workday to confirm your Mailing Address is up-to-date
	If necessary, update your Mailing Address in Workday (after logging in, open the Menu and select Personal Information, then under View, select Addresses) by Monday, April 13, 2026.
	Stay tuned for additional information on Mail-in Voting

Ballots must be received by the NLRB

by Friday, May 15, 2026 for your vote to count.

Employees should contact the NLRB to request a ballot if one is not received by Wednesday, May 6, 2026. Ballots will be counted at the regional NLRB office on Monday, May 18, 2026.

Make Your Voice Heard

• UAW seeks to represent ~2,900 RTPC faculty in a single bargaining unit
• If UAW is voted in, it will represent the entire bargaining unit, including you – regardless of whether you voted or not

What does this mean?

The outcome will be decided by the majority of votes cast, even if only a small fraction of the ~2,900 eligible faculty participate.

Consider this scenario:

• 100 eligible faculty vote.
• 51 of those vote for the union.
• Then UAW would represent all ~2,900 eligible faculty.

As a reminder, this is a secret ballot election – no one will know how you vote.
