AFSCME Local 2412 represents Administrative Support Workers/ Employees at UW-Madison, UW Extension, UW System Administration, and UW Colleges.

We have trained and experienced Union Stewards/Personal Representatives available to assist, represent, and advise you with workplace concerns and questions. Union representatives are a resource to help you navigate the Family and Medical Leave Act or the Americans with Disabilities Act, so please contact a representative of the local if you need this kind of assistance. In most cases, the Union Stewards of Local 2412 can also serve as your personal representative.
