Virtual COVID-19 Impact Bargaining Session 2/23/22, 8 am CT

On Wednesday February 23rd at 8:00 am, GEO will negotiate with UIUC administration over COVID-19 health and safety conditions! In addition to our demands for high quality masks, COVID-19 exposure notifications, regular testing and building access status checks, and worker choice, we are also demanding that UIUC administration bargain with GEO over changes to mask mandate policy, which will directly impact graduate workers, our students, faculty, and staff. We can only demand change to this unscientific, undemocratic decision to disregard public health and leave workers and students to fend for ourselves if we come together to make our voices heard!
