January 23, 2026: Shuttle, So Confusing

Graduate workers at the University of Michigan "met in-person" with (read: did not even catch a glimpse of) representatives from the university's HR department. Despite HR's claims that we spoke in-person, grad workers in reality only spoke with a state-appointed mediator that U-M called in last semester before negotiations even began, who was only able to get 3 out of our 20 questions answered about HR's proposals over the course of multiple hours.Hear from grad workers Anja, Alex, and Kate who were in the room about what actually went down in Palmer Commons last Friday!Stay tuned for more updates!Read our bargaining bulletins: https://www.geo3550.org/news/bargaining/Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/geo_3550/Visit our website: https://www.geo3550.orgJoin our allies mailing list: https://www.geo3550.org/join/alliesDonate to the Worker Solidarity Fund: https://bit.ly/GEOWorkerSolidarity
