Our Committees

IGWC committees are working groups that focus on ongoing needs or specialized tasks within the union.

As a rank-and-file union, all IGWC Committees are run by graduate workers and IGWC members who volunteer their time, energy, and skills to respond to the needs of our members and mission.
