The Graduate Employees Organization held a rally on the Student Union steps at the University of Massachusetts yesterday to raise awareness about their 2004-2007 contracts that the Massachusetts Governor has not yet signed.
Speaking first, Governor Rat Romney, a student dressed with a rat head representing Governor Mitt Romney, rallied the crowd of 150 students.
"I can guarantee that a deal is never a deal, a promise made is never a promise kept, and that your collective bargaining agreements will never be worth the paper they are written on," the rat-governor said.
Graduate and undergraduate students holding "Fund UMass" and "Rat Romney '08" signs cheered the governor on, all while recording and photographing the event. The crowd grew larger as students walked past. Through the crowd, the GEO was circulating petitions.
