Did you get this e-mail today? Here is what you can do!

Good news! It means you are in the bargaining unit for this year.   The University does not think that you have filled out a card for the year.   If you think you have already signed a card, that is great, no further action is required.  If you are not sure, you can always fill out another one.

In order to fill out a yellow card you can:

1. E-mail us at staff@geo3550.org and we can get you a physical card
2. You can go to the “Join GEO” tab and fill out a yellow card online.  A handy dandy instructional video can be viewed here : http://youtu.be/pEEKEsm3nsc

Dear Your Name (Umich ID),

You are receiving this automated message because you are a newly hired GSI or GSSA. Graduate employees in these job categories at the University of Michigan are represented in collective bargaining by the Graduate Employees Organization. The contract negotiated between the University and GEO requires that all GSIs and GSSAs pay either Union dues or a representation service fee.

If you have never filled out a GEO Membership/Representation-Service Fee card, please do so now. If you have been a GSI or GSSA in the past and had dues/service fees deducted from your paycheck, GEO has your card on file, and you need not submit another. If you have already filled out a card this semester, GEO is processing your card, and no further action is required of you.

Please contact GEO at 734/995-0221 or umgeo@umich.edu if you need a yellow card or have any further questions.
