About the UWUA
Membership
Overall, union membership has steadily fallen since its height in the late ’40s and ’50s.
The UWUA membership is following the same trend. Since 2015, the union has lost more than 8,000 members.

UWUA ULPs
An Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) is a violation of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), which can be committed by either the company or the union.
Since 2014, 191 NLRB charges have been filed alleging that the UWUA committed ULPs. Those complaints ranged from “Discipline (including charges/fines)/Harassment” to “Union Dues and/or Membership Related (including excessive fees).”
This information is worth knowing in considering whether UWUA is a union you would want to represent you.
