Albany Education Association

Your local association is made up of you and your co-workers within your school district. The local provides day-to-day support on work related issues

and bargaining. This is where you have the first line of input into your union over your contract and other issues important to public education.

Capital Area UniServ South

Your local belongs to a UniServ—CAUS South. UniServs are regional groupings of local unions. Your local sends a representative to CAUS South and that

representative acts as the communications link between your local, WEAC and the NEA. The UniServ also provides legal guidance, help with contract enforcement, contract negotiations, political action, training, and other support.

Wisconsin Education Association Council

CAUS South and your local belong to WEAC. WEAC works on your behalf on the state level. WEAC also provides educational opportunities, networking, resources, political advocacy, legal counsel and public relations support for your UniServ and local.
