LEO Union Council Statement on a Potential GEO Strike

As you may know, our union siblings in the Graduate Employees’ Organization (GEO, AFT-MI Local 3550) have been bargaining with the university administration since November 17th. Although modest progress is now being made, the parties remain far apart. Although we of course hope that a settlement can be reached that meets the needs of GEO members, it is quite possible that there will be a strike sometime this semester. To this end we wanted to provide the following information in case GEO does strike
