During a two-week voting window that concluded on Friday, April 4th, 2025, UTSF members unanimously ratified our new local union Constitution and Bylaws.

At a meeting on Friday, April 11th, the Board of Directors of the Michigan Education Association approved these governing documents unanimously as well, recognizing UTSF as an MEA affiliate and granting us the legal standing to negotiate contracts once the administration recognizes our union.

These steps represent historic achievements for our union and monumental steps toward our ultimate goal of achieving full legal recognition as a bargaining unit and negotiating our first contract with MSU.
