[MDining Workers @MDiningWorkers]

Mojo (a deemed Covid cluster) has just announced they will begin in-person dining starting the 20th. Dining halls throughout campus will start allowing small amounts of in-person dining eventually working up to 400 seats across campus.

[MDining Workers @MDiningWorkers]

This raises an important question of why Umich, with its extensive medical capacity, isn’t able to test their directly exposed workers but can have them go to the city over and get tested in a parking lot in a matter of minutes. #UMMakesUsSick

[MDining Workers @MDiningWorkers]

One dining worker who was directly exposed to a positive case in their unit was denied a test from UHS. This worker explained to them that they have a second job and see many people a day so there is high risk of exposure. Still denied a test although they were exposed on campus.

[MDining Workers @MDiningWorkers]

They were informed to just quarantine for 14 days (without pay) and without truly knowing if they had it. They also weren’t contacted by the tracer until ~8 hours after they learned of exposure. This worker was thankfully able to get tested at a location in Ypsi.

[MDining Workers @MDiningWorkers]

One of our demands is adequate PPE. Dining workers are not given masks and are required to bring in their own. We were only just recently given enough face shields for all student workers, however many chefs behind the scenes aren’t required to wear shield.

[MDining Workers @MDiningWorkers]

Contact tracers can only do so much and often times overlook many other people that were directly/indirectly in contact. Many workers in mojo took it upon themselves to self quarantine and get tested without pay, against management’s directions.

Amplify the voices of concerned staff @umich. We can't let this fade out of our consciousness as the drama of the @geo3550 @UMResstaff strike dwindles.

[MDining Workers @MDiningWorkers]

Unfortunately this has been the case with a lot of dining workers, even those being contacted by contact tracers. This is the exact reason why we are fighting.

[MDining Workers @MDiningWorkers]

10 workers from this facility are now quarantining, some of them seeking out tests themselves because the university won't provide them.

[MDining Workers @MDiningWorkers]

In jarring and horrible news, there has been a dining hall worker that has tested positive for COVID. Here is a statement from a worker. MDining should be ashamed.

[The Michigan Daily @michigandaily]

Students gathered to commemorate the lives lost to COVID-19, the end of the graduate student strike and their loss of trust in the University's administration. https://t.co/SztU6IvK1s

It's official.

[Grad Employees' Org UMich @geo3550]

Has @DrMarkSchlissel @UMich tried simply suing the virus? We know your preferred problem-solving method is filing injunctions.

[Grad Employees' Org UMich @geo3550]

We're still doing all we can to help @UMResstaff. If you're interested in joining a caucus to make sure GEO can support them as best as possible, please fill out this form: https://t.co/vMSn6XO0et
