Current Discount PartnersOur union
actively supports locally owned and operated
businesses because we feel the fight against the corporatization of
higher
education begins in the local community.
If you are
hesitant to join Graduate Assistants United (GAU)
for financial reasons, then calculate how much you spend a year on
copying,
books, pizza, beer, lingerie, eyewear, hardware, restaurants,
bicycle/automobile repairs and parts and the care and feeding of your
pets. Our
discount partners offer anywhere from a 10-20% discount and a GAU
membership
will only cost you 1% of your biweekly paycheck. Calculate the savings.
Then
calculate the cost of a membership – you’ll find that a GAU membership
can
actually save you money!
Of course, we hope you join GAU because you believe graduate employees do valuable work for the university. Join us in the struggle over a number of issues, including increasing stipends, academic freedom, and full health coverage. Remember, you mush show your GAU membership card in order to receive a discount.
