On Friday, grad workers again showed up in force to demand a contract that protects all workers. Picketing across central campus, grad workers were undeterred by bad weather and university intimidation. GEO member and anthropology grad Irene said, ‘Filing for an injunction day one of the strike is a disappointing escalation, but we were always ready for this. GEO has been part of the political pulse of this city for 50 years. It’s beautiful to be involved in the union’s efforts for a more equitable university. We came out in the rain this morning to tell the university that Ann Arbor is a union town, and we’re not leaving until our demands are met.’
