The Graduate Employees Union, AFT/AAUP (GEU) is a union that represents the nearly 600 graduate teaching assistants, research assistants, and administrative assistants (GAs) at PSU.
On March 28th, 2018, GEU succeeded in securing annual raises, an increase to the minimum hourly pay rate, fee subsidies, workload protections, tuition remission, and much more through ratification of our first contract.
Since then, we have worked to expand rights and protections for all PSU graduate employees through collective bargaining. In the seven years since our first contract we have ensured better wages, treatment, and transparency for GAs.
GEU is rooted in a tradition of solidarity and labor. We are committed to continuing to establish a powerful, democratic, transparent organization of GAs advocating for fair wages, workplace protections, and healthcare, building lasting power to support graduate employees in their work and study.
We are dedicated to creating a place for graduate employees to find and develop enduring community.
