well. University of Michigan has officially docked all pay but $100 for april from its grad workers, putting many of us in a position of dangerous financial precarity. friends/allies, please consider donating to Grad Employees' Org UMich strike fund at givebutter.com/GEOStrikeFund. we need all the help we can get ✊

We have learned that, in their rush to dock our pay, U-M Admin denied medical leave to a grad worker about to undergo chemotherapy for brain cancer (even with their extensive documentation). This is emblematic of University of Michigan's treatment of us throughout this campaign.

IM LOSING MY MIND, DEMS NEVER MENTION THAT ITS US CITIZENS TRAFFICKING THE DRUGS ACROSS THE BORDER!!! ITS LITERALLY 80% OF THE DRUG APPREHENSIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
