🚨IT'S TIME TO VOTE🚨 GEO and the administration came to a tentative agreement on a contract at our last bargaining session because YOU took action! Now let's VOTE! Check emails, vote in person, and/or come to office hours or TOMORROW's GMM at 6PM if you want more info.

We have a contract! All of the ballots have been tallied and 98% of GEO members voted to approve the contract. This means that the vote passes and WE HAVE A CONTRACT! This is would not be possible without YOU, thank you for all your hard work. GEO-L: uiucgeo.org/news/2023/3/28…
