On June 15, 2006 at noon at the campus Episcopal Church (the former "strike sanctuary"), the results of the card count were announced: the AAA determined that more than a supermajority of UM UNICCO employees (290 out of 385 votes, or 75 percent) had signed cards asking the SEIU to represent them. This represents the first union presence in UM's history.
