Over 40 Graduate Assistants and Teaching Assistants protested for a better contract offer from the state outside the Student Union Monday afternoon.Chants of "We'll teach for food" and "SUNY works because we do" could be heard loud and clear throughout the rally, as the frustrated group of GAs and TAs tried to gain public support for their cause by getting their message out to the public.Many of the protestors carried signs with slogans and informative posters about the Graduate Student Employees Union and the reasons for their frustrations with the proposed contract.There are about 1,200 TAs and GAs at UB.
