Collective bargaining agreements specifically indicate which positions are covered. Typically this information is also included in an employee’s offer letter. If you have questions about whether your position is covered by a collective bargaining agreement, refer to the contract, contact your immediate supervisor, or speak with your area's Human Resources representative.
Labor Relations & Collective Bargaining
Labor Relations & Collective Bargaining at Stanford is a partnership with two labor unions that represent more than 1,000 staff employees.
Stanford University is proud of its ongoing commitment and working relationships with its two labor unions: SEIU Higher Education Workers Local 2007 and the Stanford Deputy Sheriffs’ Association. We work collaboratively and with mutual respect with both organizations in the areas of the university where employees have elected to have union representation.
