Graduate Employees Organization

The Graduate Employees’ Organization (GEO) is the labor union representing Graduate Student Instructors (GSIs) and Graduate Student Staff Assistants (GSSAs) at the University of Michigan. GEO was founded in 1970 and we won our first contract in 1975, making GEO one of the oldest graduate employee unions in the United States. To celebrate our 50 years of fighting we are releasing special merchandise to celebrate both old and future GEO members! Read more about us and our 50th anniversary here.
