Are you a GA pissed off about the 2% “raise” USF offered us? Mad they refused to guarantee tuition waivers, denied us fee relief, and failed to cover our rising health insurance premiums? WE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT! Attend our town hall on Wednesday to find out what you can do 🥊

BREAKING: Graduate Assistants at USF deserve more, and people are noticing. Check out this article about our fight for fair wages in the @tampabaytimes.bsky.social this morning!🗞️

USF’s proposed raise of 2% can’t buy much: here’s a few things this money CAN’T buy. If you think we’re worth more than half a tank of gas every two weeks, drop something else you can’t buy with 2% in the comments⬇️⬇️⬇️

USF told us how much they think we’re worth: an extra $15-22 per paycheck. That’s insulting, unacceptable, and after inflation amounts to a pay DECREASE that keeps Masters GAs BELOW the federal poverty line. We deserve better, and we’ll keep fighting for it📢📢📢

Join us today at 2pm (virtually or in the Patel Center CGS 136-138) as we fight for fair wages at the bargaining table. Zoom link in bio 🔗

USF cancelled our 10/9 bargaining session because they STILL don’t have a response to our July stipend proposal😵‍💫 This is unacceptable: GAs deserve fair pay now, not at admin’s convenience.

Something is wrong with a system where 75% of workers say they’re worried about making ends meet, while greedy corporate CEOs make 285x what their median worker makes.

Working people don’t have to accept this. A union contract is how we fight back and WIN!
