Thanks @geo_3550 for this amazing meme 🤣

GEO and @P4PUofM marched to the University of Michigan Regents meeting today. We're demanding they take our crisis of affordability seriously and give us real counter offers at the bargaining table. GSIs deserve a #LivingWage and MSWs deserve payments for placements!

Tired of band aid solutions from administration in response to the systemic issues we face as unpaid workers at U-M? Join us in making a change for the better. Sign the P4P Pledge today: bit.ly/p4ppledge

We just re-passed Payment for Placements for MSW students across the table. Our bargaining team member Larisa delivered a compelling argument highlighting how a lack of payment for field work exacerbates inequities in the MSW program and social work field.

A minimum of $20/hour for MSW students' fieldwork is feasible and necessary. Although HR has refused to bargain on this issue so far on the grounds that it is "permissive", we stand firm in our commitment to solve this pressing issue that impacts hundreds of grad student workers.

In solidarity, Pilar Bonilla @daringly_myself from @p4p_hcssw, Elise Colquitt Elise from Payment for Placements UGA, Beth Wagner Beth Wagner from @utfedup, and the 40+ P4P Chapters that make up Payment 4 Placements (U.S.) #EconomicSocialJustice #SocialWorkTwitter #Internships #Placements #SocialWork
