Join GEO

The most important way you can support GEO is by  becoming a member . Being a member allows you to participate in the organization’s democratic processes, such as voting on bargaining priorities and contracts. Signing a GEO membership card authorizes  dues to be deducted from your paycheck when you are employed as a GSI or GSSA.

During semesters you are not employed as a GSI or GSSA, you can also support GEO by paying Solidarity Dues. All graduate students and many other employees at the University of Michigan benefit from the strong contract GEO has negotiated over the past several decades. Solidarity Dues allows GEO to continue to fight for a more equitable campus community.

GEO committees keep our union alive and cannot work without hours of volunteer labor. GEO caucuses work to address a variety of issues affecting graduate students at the University of Michigan.

We have many allies all over campus and we always strive to keep you informed. Sign up to receive periodic emails we send to our allies email list.
