[Image description: A flyer with a pink-colored background and an image of a black megaphone with waves of sound in the upper right. Black and white text with green highlights reads “FULL CONTRACT BARGAINING SESSION #11 9/6/22” In a paragraph below, smaller black text reads, “On Tuesday, September 6 from 4:00-6:00 PM, GEO’s Bargaining Team will be negotiating with university administration on topics of access and justice, wages and waivers, and health and safety in our contract.” At the bottom, text reads, “Levis Faculty Center Room 300. Please wear a mask if attending in-person! Email officer1@uigeo.org for link to join online.”]
Now is the time where the negotiations are becoming more intense. Being present in these sessions shows the university that it works because we do. Let’s show them that the issues we’ve brought to the table in our proposal matter to all graduate workers. Attend the next bargaining session on Tuesday, September 6 from 4pm to 6pm!
Bargaining Team needs volunteers to help with:
Note taking (you’ll receive a brief training on how to do this!)
