Coming off the incredible support from last week’s Fund Our Future town hall, we want to remind you that graduate student and postdoc unions will begin bargaining with the university this week!

The first bargaining session for both groups will take place this Wednesday, October 8.

To make sure everyone in our union has the opportunity to stay informed and engaged following our first bargaining session, the graduate student and postdoc bargaining committees are hosting a post-bargaining social and Q&A at Greater Good Brewery from 5:30pm-8pm this Wednesday.

This will be a great chance to:

  • Hear updates from the first session
  • Ask questions and share your thoughts or concerns
  • Learn how you can get involved in the campaign

We want to make sure transportation isn’t a barrier. If you need a ride or can offer one, please sign up here. We will help coordinate to make sure anyone who wants to come can make it.

We can’t wait to see you all there as we kick off bargaining and start fighting for the contract we all deserve! You can also continue to get bargaining updates by following us on Instagram and Bluesky, checking out our website, or continuing to check your email for updates!

In solidarity,
