    We Have a Contract! The Last Episode of After Bargaining (Episode #21)

    This is the final After Bargaining Episode. We have successfully organized, strategized, and fought to win a feisty contract. The host, Essam, discusses with the two of the three lead negotiators the wins in our new contract. Chelsea and Sam go into detail about the raises we won, the protections against overwork we gained, and health care benefits we will receive in our new contract. This episode will also include some updates about GEO's website and where members can learn about retroactive pay, fee waivers, and much more. The three end the final episode with some reflections on a year of bargaining filled with struggles and agitations; they speak about their favorite moments and what do those moments mean to overall graduate workers. The host, Essam Elkorghli, would like to thank our listeners for supporting this nascent project.
