This Friday, the Graduate Employees Union is attending MSU Board of Trustees meeting at 9:30 on the 4th floor of the Hannah administration building. Before hand we will be holding a rally at 8:30a.m. outside of the Hannah Admin Building to spread the message that we NEED a contract that fairly and justly compensates and protects graduate employees for all of the hard work that we do.
Wear green, come out and get a free t-shirt, coffee, donuts, and a better contract! 8:30a.m. Hannah Admin Building
Following the rally we will attend the Board of Trustees meeting and have a speakers address the trustees during the public comment section. We hope to persuade the trustees to pressure the Office of Employee Relations to bargain with the GEU for the contract that graduate employees deserve.
If you can, come to the Board Meeting, bring your grading, and do your work in a way that is visible to the Administration!
Following the GEU speaking to their elected officials there will be grade ins and a series of workshops held outside of the Board of Trustees meeting room located on the 4th floor of the administration building until 6p.m. when the building closes. These workshops will range from a History of MSU Activism to Consent in the Workplace. All workshops in one form or another will address the need for making higher education a safer and more inclusive space. As such, all workshops will count towards Responsible Conduct of Research (please email noah_s@comcast.net with questions on this!). Coffee / donuts will be provided during the rally and food will be provided during the teach-ins. If you want to make the event more successful or have ANY questions, please feel free to email our staff organizer Noah (noah_s@comcast.net). We hope to see you there!
Grade in continues with workshops that can count toward your Responsible Conduct of Research hours (depending on departmental requirements)!
