> On August 15th, the GEO's contract with the UIUC administration expires.
> Since March, the GEO has been bargaining for a new, more equitable contract
> centered around the four pillars voted by our membership: Tuition Waivers
> and Fees, Wages, Healthcare, and Access and Equality. And although we have
> already won a major victory by expanding our non-discrimination clause, due
> to stalling on the part of the administration we have yet to make progress
> in many key areas--and we haven't even started discussing some of the more
> contentious issues such as healthcare and wages.
>
> On August 16th, the day after our contract expires, join us as we rally on
> the quad to demonstrate our unity and power and send a clear message to the
> administration: they need to work with us on creating a fair contract for
> all graduate employees. From 11-11:45, GEO members will be in the Courtyard
> Cafe of the Illini Union with materials to make signs and posters, and the
> rally will begin at noon. Our friends in AFSCME Local 3700 also have a
> contract about to expire, so we stand in solidarity with them as well!
