COVID-19 Impact Bargaining Session 16: Friday September 24th, 11 am - 12:30 pm CDT
This Friday, the COVID-19 Impact Bargaining Team (IBT) will have its 16th bargaining session with the UIUC Administration. IBT members will be negotiating for a more comprehensive COVID-19 notification system, following up on the two Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) they sent about worker choice and sick leave, and more equipment for grad workers (technology, HEERF III funds, and PPE) with the university administration. Come show the administration our collective power! United we bargain! Divided we beg!
