U-M lecturers’ union kicks off contract negotiations with rally
The University of Michigan’s Lecturers’ union is hosting a bargaining kickoff rally this morning on U-M’s campus.
The rally marks the beginning of contract negotiations with the university. The Lecturers’ Employees Organization, or LEO, says it’s hoping to secure better wages to accommodate the rising cost of living.
Kirsten Herold is a lecturer at the School of Public Health and the president of the union. She says LEO is encouraged by the successful bargaining of other unions at U-M.
