Charlottesville News: UVA staff union will shut down
Not enough members, says parent union
In May 2002, Jan Cornell quit her job as an editor at UVA’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies to become a full-time union organizer for the Communications Workers of America (CWA). She later became the president of the Staff Union at UVA (SUUVA).
But as of January 1, Cornell will be unemployed. CWA has cut SUUVA’s funding for failing to add new members.
