IGWC-UE Rallies Outside Board of Trustees Meeting for Union Recognition

August 11, 2022 — Calling on the IU Administration to recognize the union, IGWC-UE members rallied outside the Board of Trustees meeting in Henke Hall. While recent wins stemming from the graduate workers’ historic spring strike amount to an effective 45% raise for the lowest-paid student academic appointees ($6,000 increase in base pay, plus the elimination of an additional $1,400 in mandatory fees), IGWC-UE members underscored that, without union recognition, the IU Administration and Board of Trustees can unfairly and unilaterally rescind these changes without any employee input. Pressure on the administration remains high as the September strike date nears.
