Union Information

How do I know if a vacancy is represented by a union?

Each individual Civil Service vacancy posted on our website indicates whether or not the position is represented and, if so, by which union.

What unions currently have bargaining agreements with SIU School of Medicine?

If I am hired into a represented position, how much will come out of my paycheck for union dues?

Union dues are deducted twice per month.  For employees that are paid on a bi-weekly basis, there is the occasion for a third pay period to exist in the month.  During these pay periods, union dues are not deducted.
