In celebration of the 30th anniversary of the union, the Association of Graduate Students Employed at McGill is excited to present a glimpse of our history in the public exhibition “From the AGSEM Archives: 30 Years of Graduate Student Labour Organizing at McGill.“
Building upon graduate student workers' organizing efforts since the 1970s, AGSEM led a successful card-signing campaign to become certified with the Confédération des syndicats nationaux (CSN) in 1992, and began collective bargaining as a certified union in 1993.
Consisting of four installations in various locations on McGill's downtown campus, the exhibition highlights initiatives of graduate student labour organizing at McGill, situating the union within broader networks of solidarity in Quebec.
The first special guided walking tour of the exhibition will take place on October 25 at 4:00pm.
For the guided walking tour, please RSVP here (separate from the anniversary celebration event).
For future walking tour dates, please check AGSEM website.
Dates will be announced in November.
