Come on out to Gallup Park on July 15th! EMUFT is having a picnic social for you, EMU lecturers and friends of EMUFT, and your family. EMUFT is springing for hamburgers, hot dogs and pop. We will offer a vegetarian option. However, if you have dietary restrictions, you are more than welcome to bring your own dishes.

At the 5 campus membership meetings happening over the next few days, we will present details about the historic gains we have made in negotiations. All Lecturers are welcome and should come. These meetings will be for Lecturers only, but we will see our allies soon! Non-members should note: if you wish to have a vote on the ratification of the contract, you can sign a membership card at a meeting.

On Thursday, June 14, SEIU launches a major campaign to raise the wages for janitors and custodians in Downtown Detroit to $15 an hour.

It’s amazing to see downtown Detroit bustling with
new investment, new buildings and new people.
We are the janitors and custodians who keep the
“resurgence” clean. Every day we see two Detroits.

One is in our communities where we are struggling to
raise our families and make ends meet, and the other
is the downtown and arena district bustling with new
investment, buildings and people.
