7/15/22 LEO-GLAM Bargaining Recap

After over seven and a half months of bargaining, we are so proud to announce that the LEO-GLAM Bargaining Team has reached a full Tentative Agreement!

We achieved several important wins in this salary article, including parity in minimum salaries across all three campuses in the first year of the contract, guaranteed annual increases in each year, and equity increases to address historical disparities in our salaries. Over the three years, the contract will result in an overall increase of 17% to the salaries of LACs. This is an impressive figure for a first contract and a small bargaining unit.

We want to express our appreciation to all of the members who joined us throughout the bargaining process, and to University of Michigan administration for maintaining such an amicable tone over these many months. We look forward to continuing to work together on implementation pending ratification. With bargaining complete, we need you—the  members!—to vote to ratify the contract. There is no contract without your votes.

We will hold a General Membership Meeting via Zoom on Thursday, July 21st at noon, and encourage LEO-GLAM members to attend for more information about the TA and next steps in the ratification process. Please register for the Zoom link.
