Today GAGE’s bargaining team reached a tentative agreement on our second contract with Georgetown. We are thrilled that this 11-month process has come to an end and that graduate employees at Georgetown will be receiving their raises by September. Some highlights of the contract are:

A 12% initial increase in pay
2.5% raises each year of the contract (our first contract had 2% raises)
Increased parental leave
More protections and support for undocumented workers
Better visa support for international workers

Stay tuned for more updates!
