ELECTION PROCEDURES

Date, Time, & Location:‍ Friday, May 8th, 2026, from 2:00-4:00pm inside the employee lounge area near the “Volts and Bolts” area.
Who Can Vote: All full-time and regular part-time educators, education specialists, guest relations associates, guest relations coordinators, operations workers I, projectionist technician specialists 2, and camp leads employed by the Employer at its facility currently located at 5020 John R. Road, Detroit, MI 48202, who were employed by the Employer during the payroll period ending April 04, 2026.
Who Can’t Vote: All temporary employees, seasonal employees, summer camp counselors, management employees, office and clerical employees, custodial employees, finance employees, directors, interns, executives, marketing employees, event employees and guards and supervisors as defined by the Act, and all other employees.
Who Will Be Present When You Vote: The election will be conducted by a representative from the National Labor Relations Board. Mi-Sci and the UAW can have an observer present, who are typically eligible voters. The observers are present to confirm a potential voter’s employment status with Mi-Sci before the NLRB agent hands them a ballot. None of the individuals present will be able to see how you vote.

Instructions to fill out and complete the ballot:

Each ballot will have one question: "Do you wish to be represented for purposes of collective bargaining by The International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW)?”

If you want to be represented by the union, simply place an “X” in the box labeled YES.

If you do not want to be represented by the union, simply write an “X” in the box labeled NO.

All you should do is place an “X” in the box of your choice, fold up the ballot and put it in the ballot box.

Do not write anything else on the ballot, such as your name, classification, or department. If you do write anything else on the ballot other than the “X” in the box of your choice, the NLRB will likely not count your ballot.

Voting is quick, easy, and secret. Please exercise your right to vote. A simple majority of those who actually appear, and vote determines the election result, either in favor of or against UAW. Not voting does not mean a NO or a YES vote to the union; it means that your voice is not heard.
Counting the Vote: The NLRB agent will open all ballots and count them immediately following closure of the voting period on May 8th. The result will be determined by the simple majority of votes actually cast in the election.
