What do we fight for next?

With contract negotiations fast approaching, GAU wants to hear from you! What are your top priorities for our next contract? We strongly encourage all of you to take 10-15 minutes to fill out our contract priorities survey so we can see what is most important to fight for, whether it be raises, better health insurance, or addressing issues with parking. Your voice influences what we do next!

These negotiations directly impact every graduate assistant for the foreseeable future so if there is an issue you want addressed, now is the time to speak up!

Fill out the survey by March 7th here: https://uri.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5hDYKbGJev8eLdk
