The last time minimum wage was increased was 14 years ago to $7.25/hour.

In 2023, that wage is STILL $7.25.

You can't raise a family of 4, never mind rent a one-bedroom apartment, on a minimum wage salary. #RaiseTheWage

We are out here standing in solidarity with Starbucks workers at the Starbucks on Main St until 12! They are fighting for access to healthcare & gender-affirming care & safe working conditions ✊

No contract? NO COFFEE! ☕️

[Grad Employees' Org UMich @geo3550]

Come out TODAY to the Main St. Starbucks at 10 AM to support striking Starbucks Workers, who are "striking with pride" this week to fight for healthcare access, gender-affirming care & safety and against intimidation.

QT rights are Workers' rights!

[Grad Employees' Org UMich @geo3550]

We're thankful for the leadership of @GovWhitmer, working to get our colleagues the collective bargaining rights they deserve! Every worker deserves a union.

This is what pro-labor leadership looks like. The @UMich Democratic Regents (like @JordanAckerMI) could learn something!

BREAKING: UM faculty sign pledge to withhold grades until at least May 12, pending major movement in bargaining.

Faculty can add their names to the solidarity letter here:

Local news covered last night's unjustifiable detainment of grad workers by @UMichPrezOno's campus cops. It's plain for all to see the shameful way Admin treat their students & workers.

It's time for Ono to do the right thing and give us a fair contract.

UM admin is telling faculty that not submitting grades harm "vulnerable students." This is categorically false. You know what is harming them? Admin's continued dismissal of our well-researched proposals disability accoms, int'l fees, class size, wages, and more.

[Grad Employees' Org UMich @geo3550]

The @UMich Regents called our $14k raise ask "unrealistic". Let's look at at the raises their top administrators got last year.

Special s/o to CFO @GeoffChatas getting a $160k raise just last year – more than 10x what we want.

We are asking for less than Admin give themselves.

"We want to look upon U-M and feel pride in the institution that is a cornerstone of our lives and our community. Instead, the University’s recent public rhetoric and actions regarding GEO are deeply embarrassing"

[Grad Employees' Org UMich @geo3550]

Lots of #solidarity today! 50 @UMich alum working at Mathematica sent a letter to @UMichPrezOno & McCauley expressing support for our strike.

Alumni are watching our strike & Admin's shameful behaviour. If they want alumni donations, they'd better treat workers w/ respect!

We're tweeting a line from our op-ed + report on the UM budget every day this week: "Self-imposed austerity on the University’s regional campuses is stressful for its students, faculty and staff, making teaching and learning more difficult and degrees harder to pursue and enjoy."

[Grad Employees' Org UMich @geo3550]

Our first Haven Hall knit-in was a great success - so much solidarity, so much crafting! Thank you to @yeagersa for leading the event - we hope to do more!
