CGEU 2006 Conference
Building a National Movement
15th Annual Coalition of Graduate Employee Unions Conference
Philadelphia, August 11-13, 2006
GET-UP/AFT, Rutgers AAUP-AFT, and TUGSA/AFT are proud to announce the dates for
the 15th annual CGEU conference, which will be held in Philadelphia on August
11-13, 2006.
We plan to build on the successes of past conferences but also to engage new
challenges with this year’s conference. Over the past year, the CGEU has engaged
in unprecedented actions of solidarity and has moved toward greater coherency as
a sector of the U.S. labor movement. In that spirit, this year’s conference will
host panels that will move us farther toward a national and North American
agenda to achieve workplace, pay, and benefit standards for graduate labor. As
members of powerful labor unions across North America, we should all seek the
benefit of their organizing expertise to conceive our agenda and implement
it. We plan to invite union experts in bargaining, media relations, corporate
campaigns, labor law, etc. to share their knowledge with us. But we will not be
passive learners, for we expect to these experts to take a better understanding
of the grad. union movement agenda back to their respective unions. We will also
invite the leaders of our respective unions to either attend the conference or
to send a high-level representative in their stead, with the intention being to
engage in a inter-union dialogue about how assets can be deployed best to assist
the CGEU agenda.
