Graduate Employee Organization (GEO)

The Ohio University Graduate Employee Organization is an organizing body, fighting for better conditions & fairer compensation for graduate employees at OU.

Happy Monday Folks,
Stories of grad student suffering are powerful. GEO has learned that the undue sufferings of grad students are unknown and invisible to most of the other employees at OU, including those holding the most power. Your story can help us. https://t.co/aaWXknWMJu

[Graduate Employee Organization (GEO) @OhioU_GEO]

It's never too late to join a GEO meeting and see how GEO is fighting for you! Join our meeting tomorrow night!

Tomorrow we'll be discussing OU Health Insurance and the grad subsidy.

Join us virtually via Jitsi: https://t.co/AH7KbO98Id

GEO stands in solidarity with @TUGSA_6290! Grad students can no longer stand for these working conditions! Just because we’re not unionized doesn’t mean we don’t have collective power. Ohio University grad students must demand a stipend increase.

[TUGSA @TUGSA_6290]

As of this morning, TUGSA is on strike at @TempleUniv. After bargaining for over a year, Temple still refuses to meet our demands of a living wage, dependent healthcare, longer leave, and better working conditions. We’re ready to bargain: is admin? #TUGSAstrike #TempleUnionMade

[UAW 4811 @uaw_4811]

Graduate workers have heard it all before! Imagine clinging to these tired arguments in 2023, just a month after unionized graduate workers at UC won 50-80% raises through our strike.

[GSWOC-UAW Local 872 @gswocusc]

USC's latest anti-union message mischaracterizes and leaves out crucial information about what it means to form a union. Be informed! Read about what USC leaves out here: https://t.co/qbH5yQ12C0

Sound familiar, @OHIOGC? Your grad students are struggling. Let’s not add to this statistic anymore. Increase our stipends and show us that we are valued.

[Graduate Employee Organization (GEO) @OhioU_GEO]

We and OU AAUP apologize to all the people trying to make our forum virtually, we had technical difficulties and were not able to connect.

[Graduate Employee Organization (GEO) @OhioU_GEO]

Don't miss out on this important conversation tomorrow! Link--> https://t.co/2Q3L5WPIun

[Graduate Employee Organization (GEO) @OhioU_GEO]

Welcome back, OU grads! Let's get our stipends increased this semester. Grad students deserve a living wage!

[Graduate Employee Organization (GEO) @OhioU_GEO]

Join GEO's public forum with faculty. We will discuss the problems we face due to OU's layoffs and bad budgeting, and discuss how we can win the OU we all deserve. We are meeting this Thursday, Jan 26, from 12-1 PM, in Ellis 109 or via Zoom (https://t.co/2Q3L5WPIun)

[Graduate Employee Organization (GEO) @OhioU_GEO]

And @ohiou still won't pay their graduate students a fair wage!

[WOUB News @woubnews]

It’s time to file your tax return, and many of us are facing smaller refunds, shrunken tax credits and deductions — right as inflation and higher debt loads are biting into our budgets. (via @NPR) https://t.co/uyZFXsVnbb

[Graduate Employee Organization (GEO) @OhioU_GEO]

Ohio University grad students deserve a fair wage. This isn't a controversial idea, it's common decency. Hopefully, @ohiou steps up and increases stipends this semester. Grad students should be making a living wage.
Thank you, @woubnews for sharing our story.

[WOUB News @woubnews]

While the stipends vary by program and come with some employment benefits, many graduate students say they feel it’s not enough to survive on. https://t.co/iIlQyXi0eo

Just another way Ohio University shows us how much they really care about us. #OUOhNo

GEO SUPPORTS UC GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC WORKERS!!!
Starting yesterday UAW graduate and undergraduate instructors, tutors, readers, researchers, and more went on strike at UC. These workers deserve our support as they fight against the UC’s unlawful bargaining tactics.

[UAW Local 5810 @UAW5810]

We, the Postdocs, Academic Researchers, Academic Student Employees, & Graduate Student Researchers at UC announce a multi-unit strike starting November 14.
United with @sruuaw & @uaw2865 we will make
@UofCalifornia stop their unlawful conduct & bargain in good faith.
