Yesterday we delivered an Accreditation Complaint regarding UIC's handling of final grades. As our fight goes on, we see faculty pressured into crossing the picket line and accepting extra workload, while students report rampant cheating at exams. Another reminder that UIC works because we do!

Seven people at 230 South LaSalle, Chicago, holding a printed out complaint letter. They're wearing GEO gear and holding their fists up in solidarity.

Do you know your strike rights?

Don't get it twisted: know your strike rights!
RAs, TAs, and GAs with point 25 FTE to point 67 FTE are protected if they strike!
International workers have the right to go on strike!
Retaliation from your PI or Supervisor for striking is illegal!
Think your rights are being violated? Contact us at: geo@uicgeo.org
The text is printed out and put on a GEO table at the picket line.
