On Dec 1st,
GEO will be holding an info session (lunch provided) to
promote member representation in the physics department and to hear what
graduate students want in the new labor contracts.
When: Thursday, Dec 1st 12-1 pm
What: Informational luncheon
Where: Loomis 276
More Info: The
GEO is the union that represents the graduate employees on campus and negotiates
labor contracts
for them with the university. This coming academic year is particularly
important because in Spring 2017, the contracts are set to be renewed
via bargaining by the
GEO. Before
the contract bargaining starts, the GEO has to prove that
it's a representative body. Physics is a department that has a lot of
TAs that are currently non members and therefore we need to increase our
participation.
