What is Graduate Employees and Students Organization mean? Local 33–UNITE HERE (formerly the Graduate Employees and Students Organization (GESO–UNITE HERE)) is a certified union of graduate student teachers at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. If recognized, Local 33–UNITE HERE would become the second graduate employee union at a private American university, following the Graduate Student Organizing Committee (GSOC-UAW 2110) at New York University.
Local 33 is affiliated with the international union UNITE HERE, which also represents Yale University’s service, maintenance, clerical, and technical workers.
In 2014, Local 33 took its campaign public at a rally on October 21, unveiling a petition with the photographs of over 1000 graduate students calling on Yale to negotiate the terms of a neutral election. Local 33 is asking Yale to address four main issues: fairness in teaching and funding; mental healthcare for graduate students; racial and gender equity; and affordable childcare.
Local 33 has received support from many prominent academics, including Corey Robin, Michael Denning, David Graeber, and Michael Bérubé, and elected officials, including Governor Dannel Malloy, Senators Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy, New Haven Mayor Toni Harp, US Senator Bernie Sanders, and US Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro.
