Hello GEO members!

! Bargaining Session TODAY !

Join your fellow union members at our next collective bargaining session with admin on Monday, October 30th, 1:00pm-3:00pm in LGRT 1033 (Lederle Tower). The administration will be responding to several proposals from last time, so it’s important for members to be there to hear what they say. Also, GEO will propose additional changes to the contract. For a summary of all proposals, see the bargaining tracker here. As we continue to have strong showings at bargaining sessions, we display our strength, solidarity, and determination for a strong contract. We are serious about winning a fair contract that meets the needs of all graduate workers, so be there and bring a friend!

We will gather in the bargaining room (LGRT 1033) at 12:00 PM to prep for the session, snacks and coffee will be provided! If you want to get more involved in the process, email the GEO Bargaining Committee at bargaining
