Hmm. A threat of work stoppage and a down-to-the-wire negotiation comes up every time they renegotiate, although the trigger issue differs each team. The GEO has a generally antagonistic stance against the U, so it is ever thus.

This time I believe the stickler issue it’s the base pay and whether than covers the total budget for a year (including room/board/etc) estimated by the financial aid office. I don’t know if that’s for students with a .25 appointment or the typical GSi appointment of .4, however.
