UF WORKS BECAUSE WE DO!

Graduate Assistants United is your voice at the University of Florida! We negotiate and enforce our collective bargaining agreement with the university, which covers everything from your appointment letters to your healthcare plan to the pay you get for your work as a university employee. Contact us, follow us on social media, or stop by our office to see how you can get more involved!

EVENTS

Following advice from public health officials, including guidance from the CDC and the Florida Department of Health, GAU is cancelling our scheduled events through the end of the summer.
