Wisconsin Teaching Assistants’ Union Decides Not To Recertify Due To Gov. Walkers Assault On Collective Bargaining | The Teaching Assistants’ Association at the University of Wisconsin — which, in 1966, was the first T.A. union ever to win a contract — has decided not to recertify as an official union due to Gov. Scott Walker’s (R-WI) notorious collective bargaining law. As Inside Higher Ed noted, the union said the law “made it impossible to operate effectively, and that the organization will be able to do more for T.A.s by not seeking to be certified as an official union.”
