Through our affiliation with NEA, all UEA members have available to them an extensive professional liability insurance coverage and legal assistance for when they are engaged in educational employment activities at no additional cost other than their membership dues. Contact Northern UniServ Director, Curtis Benjamin if you have any questions. 

Tip: What to do if you are asked to meet?

Overwhelmingly, most meetings are benign and are held to discuss our day to day work or convey information. However, when you are called to a meeting by a supervisor, you have the right to ask if the meeting could in any way lead to disciplinary action or affect your working conditions. If so, then respectfully request postponement until you can arrange for an Association Representative or the UniServ Director. If your request is denied and the meeting proceeds at that time, at least have another Association member to be in attendance as well.
