We are UT graduate student workers fighting for a living wage and just working conditions. We demand that every graduate student worker be guaranteed a living wage, free tuition, fully funded year-round physical and mental health care, and access to affordable childcare and housing. Our vision for UT Austin is a university that embodies equity, diversity, academic excellence, and dignity for all of its workers.
We are looking for graduate worker volunteers to act as representatives for their departments. If you're interested, sign up here and get involved!
We meet Tuesdays at 5:30pm in-person and on Zoom. Join our Slack for details on location/link.
