GEO Public Rally and Mediation Update
Join us on Thursday, October 26th, for a public rally in support of the GEO's fight for a fair contract, and to get an update on the mediation session on the 24th. We're calling on all members, students, faculty, staff, and community members who believe that graduate employees deserve fair working conditions to join us in solidarity. #FairContractNow
We stand with GEO. #WithIllinoisWe're sure many of you have gotten these #WithIllinois magnets in the mail and were astounded by the hypocrisy. "We are alleviating poverty." Then why do you refuse to pay grad workers a living wage? "We are curing disease." Then why do grad workers receive a substandard, expensive health care plan? "We are fighting hunger." Then why do so many grad workers and their families face food and housing insecurity?
If the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign wants to change the world, they could start by changing how they treat their workers right here on campus. #FairContractNow
Congratulations!
