We’ve reached a tentative agreement!
We won’t bury the lede on May Day: We are incredibly happy to announce that we have reached a tentative agreement on our first contract with the University!
The past three years have been a fight, but we have persevered. We organized, we sent petitions, and we stood firm in fighting for a Contract for the Whole Person for all GU grad workers. This contract couldn’t happen without hundreds of us coming together and making our power felt, over and over again! The bargaining committee, the organizing committee, and every member have shown up, time and time again because we know the value of our work. Today we have taken a huge step in making sure the University recognizes that value as well.
This is an auspicious moment - at a time when many of our workers are dealing with unprecedented unknowns, a strong, collectively bargained contract can help provide stability and security.
