The GAU represents and advocates for the interests of its members and all graduate employees at Florida State University. The GAU is the only legally recognized collective bargaining agent for graduate assistants at FSU and seeks to protect and advance working conditions for graduate employees.
GAU's first contract was ratified in the Fall of 2010, and we are now working towards enforcement through the grievance process and improvement of the working conditions of GA's across the FSU campus.
If you are interested in learning more about GAU, have any questions/concerns, or if you would like to volunteer to help us with our mission, then please contact us.
