Anderson appointed as treasurer |

Saturday, 28 August 2010 12:55 |

The LEO Union Council has appointed Jim Anderson (UM-Flint, English) as the local's treasurer. Anderson will complete the term of William Morris (UM-Dearborn, Accounting) and plans to run for election to a full term as treasurer this fall.
Morris resigned from the treasurer's office on August 21, having been laid off from his university teaching job and having little expectation of recall. Union Council members praised Morris for his hard-work, dedication and professionalism, and for continuing to serve the union long after he was laid-off.
Anderson has served LEO in several volunteer capacities. Most recently he chaired the LEO Bargaining Committee. He is the first UM-Flint member to hold a union-wide office.

Mount Pleasant, MI—Nontenure-track faculty at Central Michigan University voted overwhelmingly today for union representation, and gained the right to negotiate job security, health insurance, salary, and other conditions of employment with the university administration. Instructors voted by a greater than 3 to 1 margin for representation, thus certifying the Union of Teaching Faculty, an affiliate of AFT Michigan, as the official collective bargaining agent. Only a handful of votes were tallied for the Michigan Education Association.
