(Click on each steward’s name to find out more about them and how to get in touch. Para español, haz clic aquí)

Are you working more hours than your contract dictates? Did you not get the raise dictated by our Spring 2024 Contract Re-opener? Are you feeling unsafe in your work environment?

Your elected union stewards are trained to help you navigate problems that UNM graduate workers are dealing with in the workplace, and to help enforce our Collective Bargaining Agreement with UNM administration.

Please reach out to any of the stewards below to get help with the issue you are having. No problem is too big or too small – if its a missing paycheck or benefits health and safety issues in the lab or classroom, an unfair situation in the workplace, or something else impacting the UNM community, we can help in some way!

Even if you aren’t sure whether or not we can help with the particular issue you are facing, please ask!

Stewards can also answer general questions about the contract or grievance procedure.
