All of us GEO members are starting to negotiate with UMass Admin to secure and improve our Collective Bargaining Agreement (our contract). This is collective bargaining: the only way to win a great contract for each one of us to do our part! Here’s how to do your part:
- Show up! Bring your friends, bring your kids! Yes there will be snacks and union gossip right before this session.
- Tell non-members that if they have a GEO-eligible job, they are affected by this contract. But the only way their voice will be represented is if they become dues-paying members.
- Read the contract. Inform yourself about your current benefits (leave and vacation is e.g. an important one that many members don’t know we have!)
1. Welcome our Interim Grievance Coordinator! The GEO leadership is pleased to welcome Alyssa Goldstein (back) into the new and improved office in her new role until May! If you need to get in touch, please email alyssa@geouaw.org.
