TAA '25-'26 Organizing Survey
Your union wants to hear from YOU! What would you like to see TAA organize towards across the next year(s)? What are the biggest issues you face as a UW-Madison graduate worker? What do you think are the biggest threats to graduate workers across this campus? 

Many of the listed items are things TAA is already working towards, but we need you to help us get there! If you're interested in getting involved, include a name and contact method at the bottom of this survey, and an organizer will be in touch :) All info will be kept secure within the TAA, but your responses may be shared anonymously as part of any future organizing campaign.

Questions? Contact us at taa@taa-madison.org from a non-wisc.edu email.

Please rate how important each of the following issues are to you! This will help guide TAA's organizing priorities. 
You can answer these questions based on what impacts you most directly and/or how concerned you are about an issue. For example, you don't have to be directly dealing with sexual harassment to identify sexual harassment protection as extremely important to you.
