We demanded a 25% raise (12.5% per year, over two years)
They proposed a 6% raise (3% per year, over two years)
We are the first public sector union in the State of Iowa to receive a proposed raise above the State's legal minimum since 2017.
But that's NOT enough!

Graduate workers had a lot of questions for the Board of Regents, who didn't even bother even showing up.
