Join the Organizing Blitz
August 19, 2008
The Blitz is on! TAA organizers have drafted an ambitious and exciting plan to talk to every member of the TAA during the first three weeks of the semester. These conversations will not only evaluate membership priorities, but they will also help us identify fellow graduate employees who will stand up and fight to win domestic partner benefits and competitive wages. We cannot expect to win that which we do not work for.
If you'd like to win domestic partner benefits and better wages, your help is needed. During the Blitz, you'd be teamed with an experienced organizer, and you'd visit offices of fellow graduate employees a few hours a week (trust me, it's actually fun).
Training sessions for door-to-door organizers will be held on the evening of August 21st from 6-8 at the TAA office, and from 10-2 on August 24th in the Math Lounge, on the top floor of Van Vleck Hall.
In the meantime, get in touch if you're interested. Email the TAA office at taa@taa-madison.org, and let us know you're willing to work a couple hours a week to win domestic partner benefits and competitive wages.
