March'22 COVID Safety Check-In
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the situation is constantly evolving. Governments, the CDC, and UW are changing their response and prevention policies. Because of this, we the Return To Campus (RTC) Workgroup want to quickly check in on how members are doing.

Our ability to win structural changes on health & safety issues is a direct function of how many members get involved in building collective power. Responses to this survey will be instrumental in informing the next steps that we can take as a union towards RTC organizing. We are looking for more members to get involved in this organizing effort --please email uaw4121@uaw4121.org or join the #return-to-campus-organizing channel on the ASE Slack if you would like to get involved.
