We are in the midst of planning an action in support of our graduating undergraduates and colleagues this weekend because bargaining last night...was a roller coaster ride that didn't end on a high note. If you have time tomorrow, plan on attending a graduation ceremony with us and handing out congratulation cards to the undergrads we helped graduate! Follow the blog and our social media for updates!!
You probably already read about bargaining in your email, and we'll post updates soon, but we wanted to take a minute and tell you about our successes this week.
We saw over 300 people at our grade ins last week. You came all the way out to Nisbet Hall, a place far out of the way for everyone except MSU's bargaining team, and showed your support. We were over 100 strong at the General Assembly yesterday at 5:00p.m. State Senator Curtis Hertel Jr. stopped in to show his support (listen to what he had to say on our facebook page, Graduate Employees Union - Michigan State University).
Our bargaining team was in session until 1 a.m. last night. Your efforts last week make things possible at the bargaining table that wouldn't have been possible otherwise, but healthcare and tuition are still SERIOUS ISSUES we need to fight. Again, updates should be in your email and we will have a comprehensive blog post soon, but it was important for us to take a minute to say thanks for the actions we all did collectively that lubricated the wheels of bargaining!
