ATTENTION BRONCOS —
A group of students at WMU is doing preliminary research into organizing our students here on campus. One way that perhaps would be effective is unionizing students on campus. This would be a way for students to have more say and power at WMU by collectively organizing. The goal of such an organization would be to keep students in the loop on issues and to find ways to make sure student interests are effectively heard.
