We are holding two important events next week: a workshop for international students and a Q&A session on taxes. After speaking with our co-workers, we found that many of us share the same questions and concerns about the complexities of tax, visa and immigration law. We’ve invited an immigration lawyer and certified public accountant to come and answer our questions.<\/p>\n

As a recognized union, GWC-UAW would be able to address international student employees\u2019 concerns about workplace rights through collective bargaining. International graduate employees and postdocs represented by the UAW have won significant gains in compensation, benefits, and workplace rights through collective bargaining and have established a stronger political voice in advocating for the rights of immigrant and guest workers in the US. Even though the union’s representation of RAs and TAs is not with respect to tax or visa processing issues , we are sponsoring these workshops in response to numerous conversations we\u2019ve had with our colleagues about the kind of support they need. The purpose of these events is to provide information that may be useful in addressing visa\/immigration issues, and taxes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
