IUPUI: Human Resources Policies

Staff covered by this policy	This policy applies to appointed, nonacademic staff on all campuses.
Introduction	The university is committed to ensuring uniform and economical management of negotiations and administration of employee representative bargaining units. The Board of Trustees must approve revisions to this policy. University Human Resources administers this policy.
Recognized bargaining units	The Board of Trustees has approved a policy whereby the university recognizes the following existing bargaining units: AFSCME Local 832 representing all service maintenance and food service staff on the Bloomington campus. AFSCME Local 1477 representing all service maintenance staff on the Indianapolis and South Bend campuses. CWA Local 4730 representing all clerical and technical staff on the Bloomington and Northwest campuses except staff classified as confidential.
Procedure for obtaining exclusive representation	Any additional employee units seeking recognition as an exclusive representative must become part of a recognized bargaining unit listed above. Employees of a single campus are not considered an “appropriate bargaining unit.” Such employees can only obtain exclusive bargaining rights by voting to join a recognized unit listed above. Service maintenance staff on a campus not represented by a unit may vote to join AFSCME Local 832 (Bloomington) or AFSCME Local 1477 (Indianapolis and South Bend). Staff are to choose the unit that is nearest to their campus. Clerical and technical staff on any campus not represented by a unit may vote to join CWA Local 4730 (Bloomington and Northwest).
