SNRE Solidarity

GEO and the administration have tentatively settled on an agreement, we will not be walking out tomorrow! Here are the highlights:

• 6.2 in year 1, 3.5 in year 2 and 3
• Full tuition waiver for 0.2 and above
• Wage parity for low fractions
• No premium health care for all fractions
• An additional 5 mental health care visits (from 25 to 30)
• 6 weeks parental leave for birth moms, and 3 for non birth parents

Good work everyone! We have a mass membership meeting on March 31st at 7:00 in the Michigan League Ballroom, where we can discuss the offer and decide whether to send out a ballot for ratification. I’m so proud of everyone who participated in the walk out, especially in SNRE. In a department with little job security, we were well represented on the picket line!
