Support the Graduate Employees Organization

The Graduate Employees Organization (GEO) at the University of Illinois is the union that represents all graduate employees of the University.

Read their Statement of Mission and Goals.

What You Can Do

Many GSLIS students have pre-professional graduate assistantships, and are therefore not members of the bargaining unit. However, PPGAs are encouraged to become members of the GEO.

Why?

Joining the GEO, whether a member of the bargaining unit or not, benefits all graduate employees. Greater membership means a broader coalition of support and more money for union activities. Keep in mind that whatever gains are won by GEO on behalf of some graduate employees will generally be extended to all graduate employees.
