Israel’s relentless bombardment of the besieged Gaza Strip has now killed over 30,000 Palestinians. Over half of the population of the Gaza Strip has been displaced while a ground invasion further attacks the population. GEO UML demands calls for a ceasefire from our politicians!

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

I stand in solidarity with @GEO_UML graduate students organizing for fair wages and benefits. I'm encouraged by the recent progress in negotiations, and I'm urging @UMassLowell to finish the job. These workers keep the university running and deserve a better contract.

[GEO, UMass Lowell @GEO_UML]

We demand disability accommodations and we demand graduate workers’ right to file sexual harassment grievances through the union’s grievance and third-party arbitration procedure.

Sign the petition and call on the UML to meet our demands!

[GEO, UMass Lowell @GEO_UML]

It's been 9 months since we started negotiating our contract with UML for livable stipends, better work benefits, and protections from harassment and discrimination. You can take collective actions during our week of action! Let’s fight for a fair contract!

Graduate students at UML are officially going WORK-TO-RULE 🔥, standing together for a living wage! We graduate workers are legally stopping work at 18 hr/wk and passing word up the chain of command through supervisors so the university hears our demands. #bargainingtosurvive

[GEO, UMass Lowell @GEO_UML]

UML Grads are going WORK-TO-RULE (stopping work at 18 hours / week as legally required) in response to the university's bargaining our stipend so far from a livable wage! Info session / pizza today 9/15 in Lydon 110 at 5 pm!📷📷 #bargainingtosurvive
