The Fellows' Union Now (F.U.N.) campaign is preparing for a hearing with the Oregon Employment Relations Board on June 23rd and 24th. After a card count showing that the majority of fellows want to unionize, OSU claimed fellows aren't employees and therefore not eligible to unionize. This is the same claim they made about GRAs, when CGE worked to get them included in the unit, which was found to be wrong. Now some brave fellows are going to give testimony at the hearing about the realities of their work, the duties they perform beyond their fellowship, and their value to OSU. A huge thank you to everyone helping win workplace protections for fellows!

It's that time once again! The Hardship Fund is open for Spring applications until the end of the day Friday. The Hardship Fund is open to all CGE members and associate members. There are no strings attached to the hardship fund and you will never be asked to pay back any funds you receive. Information about the Hardship Fund and the link to apply can be found here. Keep in mind that the hardship fund is powered entirely by associate member and legacy member dues. OSU’s Hardship fund has more resources but is much less transparent. If you want assistance applying to OSU’s fund, email [email protected].
