How would the process of collective bargaining work at Columbia?
Once the union is recognized to collectively bargain with the University, all members of the bargaining unit will be surveyed in order to find out what they want to see included in a contract. Members of the bargaining unit will also elect representatives, fellow Teaching and Research Assistants, to a bargaining committee. The bargaining committee will then sit down with the administration and negotiate a tentative contract. Once a tentative agreement has been reached, GSEU members must vote to accept or reject the contract.
