CGEU:About
From CGEU
The Coalition of Graduate Employee Unions was formed in 1992 to support the organization of new graduate employee unions; to strengthen established unions; and to provide a forum for graduate employee unionists to meet, share information and work together toward common goals. The coalition holds an annual conference featuring workshops on organizing, leadership development, negotiation strategies, and member mobilization. Each year, the conference is hosted by a different union; here are the locations and hosting unions (and international union affilations) of the past ten conferences.

The Coalition is unusual in that it brings together unions which are affiliated with a number of different international unions, AFL-CIO affiliates as well as independent unions. The Coalition has no formal structure -- no constitution, by-laws, or officers.
