GRAD WORKERS RUN THIS UNION.

CGSU-UE Local 300 is the labor union for graduate workers at Cornell. We won our union election in November 2023, and we are currently fighting to enforce our first contract.

At Cornell, we research, we teach, we collect data, we steer committees, we volunteer, we supervise, we learn.

Cornell works because we do.
