GEO Members Authorize Two-Day Work Stoppage
On Tuesday and Wednesday here at the University of Michigan there is going to be a two-day work stoppage for all GEO-affiliated graduate student instructors. You can read the PDF of the press release here. Students are encouraged to not cross the picket line. If you support GEO and live in Ann Arbor, you should also consider signing up for a picket shift here.
Graduate Employees’ Organization (GEO) Rally
Although I don’t normally post about local news, perhaps this will be changing. Today at 2:30PM (here in Ann Arbor) there is going to be a GEO rally on the campus diag. If you live in Ann Arbor, I highly suggest reading the strike platform and coming out in support of the GSIs, who are grossly underpaid by an institution hardly pressed for cash. More info about the rally can be found here and here.
If the university fails to meet the GEO’s demands, a “sit out” against the university will begin next Tuesday.
