University Staff United, a union of 1800 student & instructional services staff on UMs campuses, have been negotiating a contract with UM HR since June of this year. We have made much progress on non-economic issues, winning just cause and a solid grievance process, restrictions on AI in our work, strong remote & flexible work language, and much more. However, we are currently stuck with management's offer of 3% raises on the Ann Arbor campus, and 1% raises on the Flint & Dearborn Campuses. This is simply not enough to bring many of our workers out of poverty wages. We need management to increase its offer before our members can consider accepting this contract for ratification. Sign and send this letter to help us pressure the UM Regents into authorizing more money for USU workers so that we can raise minimum wages, reach raise parity across campuses, and win raises that make a difference in the lives of our workers. We need a new deal on the table by Friday!
