It’s almost time to negotiate our new contracts! As you may know, our current contract expires next August, so it will soon be time for us to meet with the Administration and negotiate the next contract for our Graduate Assistants!
To get started, we are asking our Graduate Assistants to USE YOUR VOICE and tell us WHAT MATTERS TO YOU in our next contract negotiations. Do you want better pay? Better parking? Improved leave? Less student fees?
Members, check your emails and fill out our Contract Negotiations Survey to make your voice heard!
Want to get involved with our Contract Negotiations Team? Let us know! Email uri.gau@gmail.com and let us know if you’d like to help as:
Contract Captain - responsible for communicating with your peers, updating everyone on what's happening at negotiations, and helping drive turnout to Union actions;
Researcher - responsible for researching data for our contract proposals: looking at salary data for administrators, other union contracts, or other resources to help get the data we need;
Contract Action Team - commit to helping with action and initiatives like letter writing, social media campaigns, button making, and more while we negotiate.
Or, if you want to be involved, but you’re not sure how yet, email us and let us know!
Let’s show up for each other and negotiate our best contract yet! SOLIDARITY FOREVER!
