GEO Position on Non-Union UM Staff During the Walkout
We ask all members of the UM community to support us. Recognizing the risks of retaliation faced by unbargained-for staff, we ask them to support us to the extent they feel able. For some, that will mean not coming to work, for others picketing with us during lunch and joining us at the rally. Any staff member who feels that they need to cross the line in order to avoid retaliation should approach the picket captain at that building and explain the situation. Picket captains will have “I support GEO” buttons for people to wear to signal their support and have been informed of the complexities facing non-union staff.
