**Uniserv refers to the regional offices that help WEA serve members around the state. For example, the building where we meet for union meetings is a Uniserv building. There are costs associated with maintaining the building, and there are full-time staff who work there who provide us with support on things like grievances, bargaining, outreach, training, etc.
