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*
- 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.
- 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.
- Show this keychain to the business when you are shopping to get the benefits of solidarity!
- 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.
*GEU is currently out of keychains! You can also use the stub from your membership card to earn discounts. Check with your steward if you would like to become a member or need a replacement membership card!
