The 2010 conference for graduate employee unions is rapidly approaching!  Let us know if you are interested in learning about other organizations like ours across the USA and Canada.  This is also a great opportunity to develop organizing ideas and strategy to strengthen GEO, particularly when facing a still-unfunded contract, delayed raises, fee increases and cutbacks!

Possible workshops include bargaining, media strategies, and coalition building, as well as discussions on topics like university restructuring and privatization.

Join us at CGEU at State University of New York Stony Brook from August 5-8, 2010.

Travel and registration costs will be covered by GEO depending on interest.  If interested contact geo@external.umass.edu or call the office at (413)545-0705.

For more details on the conference itself see the Conference Program.
