BREAKING: We have learned via FOIA request that U-M started making payments to their injunction lawyers in 2022, months before the start of our strike. This shows that the university never bargained in good faith and never intended to avoid a strike.
TOWN HALL: Graduate student workers are at the forefront of the struggle for better pay and decent benefits. Join us NOW to hear directly from them about how they’re taking on greed and winning. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Wow. I got my first #ChatGPT-written paper for an undergrad assignment on positionality. This line was the tell: “I do not have a personal history, identity, or culture in the traditional sense because I am an artificial intelligence language model.” Ooof!
Hell yeah, vielen Dank!!
umich took my entire paycheck for this month but at least they remembered to deduct taxes from the money they took. that’s michigan excellence, baby! donate to @geo3550 strike fund for that sweet union power givebutter.com/GEOStrikeFund
I am a graduate student @UMich and a member of GEO. Here's what my financial situation, and why we need an increase #livingwage 🧵:
I spent the last couple days on the phone/emailing with Federal Student Aid and 4 other higher ed institutions trying to see if student aid would be put into jeopardy by withholding grades. The 7 different people I was in contact with all agreed: No. The U of M is lying.
Screw it... Poor Ono was hungry one day But the great union stood firmly in his way So he picked up his phone GrubHubbed a calzone And did he leave a tip? Girl, no way.

Imagine academia if every department cared for their students like this

If the University of Michigan wants to, it can continue to disburse aid to students who have grades missing because of the strike. If they don't disburse that aid, it is because of U of M's choices.
currently being spread by @geo3550 grad students -- these are real numbers. umich just paid its graduate instructors $100 for the entire month of april, while taking us to court TWICE for demanding a living wage in ann arbor. the lawyers they hired costed more than our demands.

While you’re reading her many emails, I want you to remember that Anne Curzan makes $509,486 a year. That’s ~$42,000 a month. She makes more in a single month than GSIs make all year. A living wage. In 1 month.
I asked advisors at the Federal Student Aid office if they would punish students for missing grades due to the @geo3550 strike and they said no, this would be up to the school. University of Michigan is lying.
The @UMich Regents called our $14k raise ask "unrealistic". Let's look at at the raises their top administrators got last year. Special s/o to CFO @GeoffChatas getting a $160k raise just last year – more than 10x what we want. We are asking for less than Admin give themselves.
No graduate student worker should be living in poverty while the University of Michigan sits atop a $17 billion endowment. These 2,500 workers deserve safe working conditions and living wages. The University must bargain a fair contract immediately.

Faculty ought to understand that busting a grad student strike is a tool of disciplining all employees in the never-ending quest to remake universities in the image of the American workplace.

Imagine cutting the pay of a group of workers this beautiful and powerful. Couldn’t be us. Send an email and tell @REI to restore our pay NOW: tinyurl.com/restoresohopay
You grew up in a wealthy suburb of Detroit. Your father runs a lucrative personal injury law firm, where you are employed. You have been afforded life's every blessing, and people like you fill the board of regents because working-class folks can't volunteer their time like this.
First things first, myself and my colleagues (the Regents) are unpaid. We do this job not for any paycheck, but because we truly love @UMich. It is work, volunteer work, that is done for love. I do not see any financial benefit from working as a Regent. I love Michigan.
[explaining the plot of my favorite book to my date] me: so you know how most caterpillars are only a little hungry?
You guys! Amendment to include LEO faculty passed with a decisive 61% of the vote. Nice to remember what it feels like when organizing works.
@JordanAckerMI @UMich We also celebrate the Michigan Building Trades' tentative agreement (pending ratification by members) with #UMich 🎉🍾🥳. When will Admin meet the needs of our union siblings in @geo3550 and @hoaumich whose negotiations have gone on for far too long? #Solidarity #UnionStrong
good morning
The Duolingo owl and the Hooters owl are brothers. One chose the path of knowledge. The other, the path of jumbo bazoingas, short shorts and chicken wings. An unbridgeable schism. A tale as old as time.
What is a @UMich transcript worth when no one can tell whether an A is legit or fake? Not a damn thing. Even students whose grades aren't fake should be upset about this.
"Miss Iris Davis, a nineteen year old from Clapham, London... spends a great deal of time recovering cats with the aid of a 'lassoo' from the debris of bombed house. So far she has rescued six hundred of these feline strays." 1940. iwm.org.uk/collections/it…
hey @UMichHR @SantaJOno @JordanAckerMI i just want to thank you for using me, my education, my mental health, my future career, and all other undergrads as “leverage” against our own teachers because you lie saying you “can’t do anything” with over $10b in unrestricted funds.
We did it! The workers took on Uber and Lyft—and they WON!

the board of regents approved my tenure! gloves offfffff, screw cops // pay GEO
@KTmBoyle Physics is a liberal art, you absolute tool.
The hourly wage talking point is so old. During the academic yr GSIs get one monthly check based on their appointment calculation. They dont get paid hourly and many work unpaid overtime to keep up with the workload. At least w/ hourly pay you can get the $ for extra hours worked
@JordanAckerMI It is absurd to talk about hourly wages when GSIs aren't allowed to work more than 20 salaried hours per week. They need to make enough to pay rent. Rutgers just moved to 40K/year. UM is pathetically uncompetitive and it'll continue to hurt us.
We begged UM to allow indiv grade submission so we could grade/submit for students who really needed fast turnaround. Instead, they pitted UGs, grads, & faculty against one another, using us as pawns against our students. They knew what it would do to our reputation & community.
