This is an absolutely unspeakable tragedy, our hearts are with all those affected. We are here to support our community in any way we can through this devastating situation, please reach out if there is any help or support we can provide at this time.

ALERT: Two USF graduate assistants are currently missing. Zamil Limon (27) and Nahida S. Bristy (27) have not been seen or heard from since 4/16/2026. If you have any information, please contact one of the numbers below. Please spread the word and help us bring them home!

Instead of providing GAs with fair compensation, USF has offered us classes to help “budget” our limited funds. However, as one anonymous GA shared, “it’s not simply about budgeting carefully. It is about constant sacrifice.” What sacrifices have you made? #USFGAsacrifices

Chase away the end-of-semester scaries and celebrate the end of finals with GAU! Join us at Peabody’s this Friday (12/12) from 6-9pm for our last payday party (Holiday Edition!) to send off the year in style (P.S. GAU members get 2 free drinks, just saying ;)). We’ll see you there!!!💚

Are you a GA or do you think GAs deserve to be paid fairly? Join GAU and UFF at the Board of Trustees Meeting this Thursday (12/11) @ 9am in the Alumni Center to show USF we REFUSE to continue being paid scraps as our University rakes in billions. It’s time we show the BOT that we demand BETTER

When you’re in grad school, a friend will ask you to join your union. It’s very important that you say yes🫶

Are you a GA pissed off about the 2% “raise” USF offered us? Mad they refused to guarantee tuition waivers, denied us fee relief, and failed to cover our rising health insurance premiums? WE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT! Attend our town hall on Wednesday to find out what you can do 🥊 🔗• link in bio/QR code

BREAKING: Graduate Assistants at USF deserve more, and people are noticing. Check out this article about our fight for fair wages in the @tampabaytimes.bsky.social this morning!🗞️

USF’s proposed raise of 2% can’t buy much: here’s a few things this money CAN’T buy. If you think we’re worth more than half a tank of gas every two weeks, drop something else you can’t buy with 2% in the comments⬇️⬇️⬇️

USF told us how much they think we’re worth: an extra $15-22 per paycheck. That’s insulting, unacceptable, and after inflation amounts to a pay DECREASE that keeps Masters GAs BELOW the federal poverty line. We deserve better, and we’ll keep fighting for it📢📢📢

Join us today at 2pm (virtually or in the Patel Center CGS 136-138) as we fight for fair wages at the bargaining table. Zoom link in bio 🔗

USF cancelled our 10/9 bargaining session because they STILL don’t have a response to our July stipend proposal😵‍💫 This is unacceptable: GAs deserve fair pay now, not at admin’s convenience. We’re pressing for their counterproposal at our 10/22 10am session, plan to PACK THE ROOM! We’ll see you there🫡

Something is wrong with a system where 75% of workers say they’re worried about making ends meet, while greedy corporate CEOs make 285x what their median worker makes. Working people don’t have to accept this. A union contract is how we fight back and WIN!
