I understand that my electronic signature may be used to obtain certification of SEIU Local 503 as the exclusive representative without an election.

About signing a union authorization card

PSU SWU is the collective union of all student employees at Portland State University and is in the process of forming. To be recognized, we need a majority of support from student employees. At this point, confidential signatures are collected, and when a majority is reached, will be filed and counted by the Employee Relations Board of Oregon. Once we get recognition, we can elect a team of student workers to bargain with the university for a contract that covers wages, benefits and working conditions.

No one will be asked to pay any dues or fees until the contract has been approved by a vote of PSU Student Employees. In SEIU Local 503, dues would be around $9 for every $500 you earn (in exact terms, 1.7% of pay + $2.75/month). Dues are one of the ways we form a strong union with resources.
