Some of What We’re Fighting for:

Transparency and respect from GWU with regards to our general treatment and wages.
A living wage for all student workers with annual cost of living adjustment (COLA).
Improved access to healthcare, including vision, dental, and mental health coverage.
Free-to-students UPass that stays on year round.

Standard work assignments (consistent hours, even expectations for TAships across departments and schools, etc.).
Paid leave (sick days, vacation, parental, etc.).
Office space for all PhD students.
Increased campus protections for international students.
