The Detroit News: U-M instructors skip classes today and Wednesday over pay
ANN ARBOR — Graduate student instructors at the University of Michigan will conduct a work stoppage today and Wednesday after negotiations broke down Monday.
“We’re going to withhold our labor,” said Kiara Vigil, vice president of the Graduate Employees Organization union, which represents some 1,700. “It’s unfortunate that we have to walk out, but we have the strength of our membership.”
The union, which met with university officials four times last week, voted Saturday for the work stoppage if a proposed three-year deal had not been reached by midnight today, when their contract expired.
