The Open Enrollment Period for benefit plan year 2025-26 for Faculty and Staff is April 30 through May 14, 2025.
Due to this being the first open enrollment period since the staff union election and the certification of the USW as the representative of various members of the staff, we understand there may be some confusion from staff regarding which category you will be able to enroll under.
The most current list of staff included in the USW bargaining unit, as of April 25, 2025, has been posted here. If your name does not appear on this list, you are considered not covered by the bargaining unit, and you will find the correct benefit enrollment information listed on our Open Enrollment site under the category of “Non-Represented Employees & Represented Employees with a Current Contract”.
Anyone listed as included in the bargaining unit will find the correct benefit enrollment information listed on our Open Enrollment site under the category of “Union-Represented Employees in Active Contract Negotiations” and will be covered under the Status Quo requirement.
Anyone questioning their union status should view our FAQ page.
