United Campus Workers of Virginia is a wall-to-wall union organizing public college and university workers across Virginia. We are Local 2265 of Communications Workers of America. Our union currently comprises 3 chapters at University of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University, and The College of William & Mary. All Virginia state higher education workers who are not executive administration, representatives of HR, and law enforcement are eligible to join.
We welcome inquiries from the media regarding our campaigns. Please contact our Strategic Communications Committee at stratcom2265@ucw-cwa.org.
