Bargaining dates and locations have been finalized! Sign-up here to join us at the bargaining table!


GEO adheres to the philosophy of open bargaining. This means that all members are invited to participate at every stage of the bargaining process. Members are welcome and encouraged to join our Bargaining Committee as volunteers. More importantly, all GEO members are welcome to sit at the bargaining table with us. Every member has a right to know what goes on in negotiations and your input is essential. The contract is not a third-party agreement imposed on the members; it is a living document written by and for all GEO members past, present, and future. The members are the union. When graduate workers take ownership of the bargaining process and stand up for their rights, it always pays off.
