WHEN: Tuesday, August 11th, 1:30-5:00 pm
WHERE: Levis Faculty Center, Second Floor
Our GEO bargaining team members just finished their latest bargaining session with the University administration negotiating team. Again, the administration team was not prepared to offer any contract proposals, and instead finished asking clarifying questions about our contract proposal.
But, the University committed to present their full contract proposal, on TUESDAY, AUGUST 11th, During this bargaining session, come be the FIRST to see the University’s proposal – what they are offering for the next contract year! The more members that are present, the more we can show that WE DEMAND GOOD FAITH NEGOTIATIONS FOR A FAIR CONTRACT.
If you can attend the August 11th bargaining session, ANY LENGTH OF TIME THAT YOU CAN ATTEND IS WELCOME. Please also encourage your fellow grads to attend!
CHILDREN ARE WELCOME, and childcare will be provided.
Finally, all members that attend are encouraged to wear GEO SHIRTS AND BUTTONS – if you need some, you can pick them up in the office, and we will also have them available at the bargaining session itself.
For more information on our contract proposals, please visit geocontract.org or contact PETER at geo@uigeo.org or odell.campbell@gmail.com.

EVENT DETAILS:
In our contract, we are only asking for what we NEED as employees -a living wage, fair healthcare, support for parents, and tuition waivers. If WE, the membership, are present in the room, that will show the Administration team that we are committed to a fair contract!
Our slogan after the latest rally was “when we show up, they back down!” When the administration team was stalling around the issue of ‘ground rules,’ the high member turnout for a rally was DIRECTLY responsible for the administration agreeing to move back to the contract. The same can be true on August 11th – the simple PRESENCE of members observing the bargaining session will be invaluable to the bargaining team’s efforts on behalf of the GEO membership.
Keep up the good work everyone, and see you August 11!
