Organization and Operation AGSE membership is open to all graduate students, whether or not they are employed in a given semester, and also to all people employed in the job titles included in the unit, including undergraduates and non-students. Members sign cards and pay monthly dues.
Members have the right to vote and run for office.
Non-members pay nothing and can not vote, but still receive all benefits won through bargaining. Leadership consists of an Executive Board, a Stewards Council, one paid staff person, and various committees. The Stewards Council consists of departmental stewards. Each department may elect one steward for every twenty members or fraction thereof. Stewards are responsible for organizing membership in their departments and for handling the first step of grievances.
