Graduate Employee Union Contracts

Below are links to contracts won by graduate employee unions around the country. These contracts were negotiated by graduate employees for graduate employees. They guarantee basic rights and a powerful voice in the decision making process on each of the campuses. This is what GEO is fighting for!

For a summary of some of the most notable provisions in these contracts, see our Contract Comparison page.

Many of the contracts are viewable on your current web browser. Some are PDF files that require the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you do not have Acrobat® Reader, you can download the latest and most appropriate version for your computer here.
