Starting in 2016, the Graduate Employees Union has formed partnerships with local businesses to help make GEU membership even better! Not only do we get the benefits of solidarity and a solid contract, but now we get discounts at various local businesses that stand with us in solidarity- our Solidarity Supporters.

How to take advantage of Solidarity Supporter discounts

1. When you join as a member (and if you haven’t you can do so here: Join as a member), you can get your GEU keychain bottle-opener!
2. You can also get your GEU keychain bottle opener from your steward or by going in  to the GEU office at 319 1/2 East Grand River Avenue.
3. Show this keychain to the business when you are shopping to get the benefits of solidarity!
4. A list of businesses with their Solidarity Supporter discount is below. If you would like to add more businesses please contact us to join the Solidarity Supporter committee.
