On March 29, 2023, the Resident Assistants (RAs) at RPI elected to affiliate with the Office and Professional Employees International Union Local 153 (OPEIU Local 153) as their exclusive agent for collective bargaining. One of RPI’s key principles in bargaining with the RA Union is transparency. The purpose of this web page is to keep the Rensselaer community apprised of the status and progress of collective bargaining between RPI and the RA Union.
