GEO WILL GO FORWARD WITH ITS PLANNED WORK STOPPAGE ON TUESDAY, MARCH 25 AND WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26
The bargaining team for the University left negotiations with GEO at 9:05 pm tonight. In negotiations today, the union believed we were making good progress with the university on issues of wage parity and low-fraction employee healthcare; however, GEO was disappointed with the minimal movement on salary increases and the lack of movement on mental health care. As GEO was awaiting counterproposals from the University in an attempt to keep bargaining and avoid a walkout, after a lengthy caucus, the University’s team informed GEO that they were finished bargaining for the day. GEO was willing to keep bargaining until our contract expired at midnight tonight.
MEMBERS and SUPPORTERS: Please join the picket lines tomorrow in solidarity with our contract fight. Contact umgeo@umich.edu with any questions.
