GEO/UAW Student Union Marches on UMass Campus

[image:766]Over 500 workers and students snaked a march through the UMass campus to Chancellor John Lombardi's office, snarling traffic along the way. The march was in support of grad students, represented by the Graduate Employee Organization, a division of the United Auto Workers, Local 2322, who wish to settle a contract with the university. Students say the university's current proposal increases health care and child care costs and cuts real wages. Grad students are also fighting a proposal to cut same sex partner benefits. View images.
