With the leadership of slate members, our Local has:

  • Established a steward network with over 100 reps who are trained to address workplace issues at the department and campus-wide level in areas such as:

    • Creating an inclusive work environment

    • Securing contract benefits

    • Fighting unjust discipline

  • Reclaimed tens of thousands of dollars in backpay and missing contract benefits.

  • Oriented almost every incoming graduate worker regarding their rights and protections.

  • Built union membership across all departments.

  • Established connections among other unions, including UE sibling locals and those in higher ed, with our Local demonstrating what we can achieve in this recent wave of academic worker unionization.
