Graduate Assistant Union Ratifies Contract
Graduate Assistants Ratify First Contract

The Graduate Labor Union-United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (GLU-UE) ratified their first collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the University on December 6, 2024. 

The CBA provides graduate assistants a new $27 per hour minimum wage, guaranteed annual wage increases, student fee support, paid personal days, expanded medical and dental coverage for dependents, and other workplace protections.

The three-year CBA is the result of more than a year of negotiations. GLU-UE represents 4,500 graduate assistants on the Twin Cities and Duluth campuses.
