How You Can Support the Campaign

Current GEO member RAs, keep an eye on your email for the the election date announcement! You may also want to reach out to the RA Unionization Working Group at ResearchersUnite@UIGEO.org for information about how to join the RA recognition bargaining team or the Research Bargaining Team for full-contract bargaining.

RAs who are not yet GEO members, now is the time to make sure that your union is strong going into bargaining by joining GEO. Signing a GEO membership card means paying dues; RAs currently pay .5% of our paychecks, but our dues are likely to increase to 2% by membership vote upon ratification of our first contract. Becoming a member also means that you will have access to all GEO events, the ability to vote on our operating budget and major union decisions, and the chance to join committees.
