GALOL members are visiting colleagues on & off campus to talk about how we can improve & protect our working situations by coming together as a union of graduate employees. Have we missed you? Then contact Nicole King to schedule a meeting.

If you're already sure that a union is the best way for us to secure a voice in the workplace, you can print out an authorization card, fill it out, and drop it in campus mail to Suzanne Sindi, Math Dept. You can also send your card to the local AFT office:

7100 Baltimore Ave., Suite 302
College Park, MD 20740
attn: Suzanne Sindi
Fax: 301.277.3548

The authorization card is not a membership card. It is simply a statement that you support the idea of a graduate employee union. Signing the card does not obligate membership, dues deduction, or any other financial commitment.

So how can you become a member of GALOL?

Just by getting involved. Contact Nicole King to volunteer.
