UNM graduate workers are fighting for a living wage that improves teaching and research at UNM!

UGW-UE is fighting for annual stipend increases, fair minimum stipends, dental insurance, and increased funding security so that graduate workers can focus on our teaching and research instead of struggling to make ends meet.

Graduate workers should not be choosing between paying bills, buying food, or getting necessary medical care because our stipends are too low to cover basic living expenses.

The preliminary goals of the Council are to better understand international grad workers' needs and develop our Union's resources to better support international grad workers. As international grad workers, we are an important part of the university, and we need to advocate for ourselves! Session Zero is for us to share our experiences as international grad workers, bring our concerns and questions to the bargaining table, and decide on the direction we want to bring the Council. We will also talk about what our Union does and can do for us. Details: Nov 27, Wednesday 5pm - 7pm 3003 Monte Vista Boulevard Northeast (Union office) Dinner provided -- RSVP so that we can estimate how much food to get!** If you're not an international grad worker, you're still welcome to come in solidarity! That said, the International Workers Council needs to be primarily steered by international worker.For further questions, drop Phoebe an email at pmruiteng@unm.edu See more details •	28	29 Data Team Meeting Data Team Meeting November 29, 2024 10:00 am - 11:00 am 3003 Monte Vista Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87106, USA See more details Communications Committee Communications Committee November 29, 2024 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm Graduate Commons (Zimmerman Library) In person and over zoom at: https://unm.zoom.us/j/97630850585?pwd=R2paRElsRlV4eW5WYVM1OE1KMzVEdz09 Meeting ID: 976 3085 0585 Passcode: GMMUGW See more details • •	30
