Graduate Workers Begin Bargaining in Fall 2026
Graduate Workers Begin Bargaining in Fall 2026
We are about to begin negotiations with UA administration for a new contract that will determine our working conditions for the next few years — on issues of compensation, workplace rights, and more. The involvement of every single union member is critical to bargaining success. Our ability to move administration on our core issues depends on whether the administration sees that we’re united and serious about our bargaining demands.

Our ability to negotiate a strong contract with real improvements to our wages, healthcare, workplace rights, etc. depends on our ability to show UA that graduate workers are a united front.
The first step to demonstrating that unity is by becoming a dues-paying member of your union.
