The Membership Action Team (MAT) is a group of hundreds of grad workers who organize the union’s power on campus!

It shows that the union is not just a few people--it is ALL of us.

Support NUGW through a non-dues donation. Both members and non-members can donate in this way. All donations will be used to fund the operation of NUGW and to support our recognition campaign.
