Grinnell College and the Union of Grinnell Student Dining Workers (“UGSDW”) have entered into a neutrality agreement to govern a possible union representation election among eligible students at Grinnell College, should such an election take place.
This agreement creates formal election procedures, voter eligibility guidelines, and a dispute resolution mechanism to help guide an election. The agreement reinforces that if an election is held at Grinnell College, UGSDW and Grinnell College will work together to ensure that it is free and fair and upholds the right of students who are employed by Grinnell College to decide whether or not they want a labor union to represent their interests on employment issues.
