To University of Michigan Faculty:
Last week, a few faculty members inappropriately circulated an anti-union petition regarding our GSRA campaign using University resources. Although some departments issued statements of retraction, it is difficult to tell how far the impression–whether intended or not–that this was an official University petition might have spread to GSRAs.
To help mitigate this effect and restore an atmosphere of neutrality and non-intimidation, GEO members and GSRAs are now contacting faculty who we think would be willing to sign a statement of neutrality regarding our campaign for a GSRA union election.
If you, or anyone you know, would be willing to sign this petition, we encourage you to sign and share. We are days away from the hearing to determine whether GSRAs will have collective bargaining rights and we appreciate any faculty member who believes that GSRAs should have the right to determine for themselves if they want to form a union.
