The LEO web site has added a "Members Only" section to allow for the posting of information confidential to the membership and the frank exchange of ideas and opinions among members. 

In the past, when the union leadership wanted to share confidential information with the members (such as the details of a tentative agreement), it would email members a "secret" web address to go to.  Going forward, such information will be posted to the Members Only page. 

Ballots due March 21

The LEO Union Council has unanimously endorsed the tentative collective bargaining agreement (TA) reached yesterday, March 5, with the University administration. The TA will be subject to a ratification vote by the LEO membership. Ratification ballots and information are being mailed to members. Completed ballots must be returned to the LEO office in Ann Arbor by no later than 5:00 p.m. on March 21, 2013.

Join your fellow LEO members at bargaining between 9-5 on Fridays, and support our effort toward a new contract.   Check the bargaining schedule for dates and locations.

Most sessions are at Palmer Commons, Ann Arbor:

LEO's 9th Annual Convention was Business and Fun!

When we came together on October 27th for Annual Convention -- LEO members, officers, and staff -- the event was a combination of serious business, solidarity building and fun. Members unanimously approved our 2012/13 Bargaining Platform which includes 21 items, in 6 different categories: Salary, Benefits, Job Security, Professional Development and Governance. Members also unanimously approved the proposed budget for 2013. 

LEO members at the 2012 Convention held on October 27 in Ann Arbor examined five proposed designs for a new LEO t-shirt to be produced for the upcoming contract campaign. The designs were all created and submitted by LEO members. After careful deliberation, the convention delegates cast their votes for the design they considered the best. The winner is shown here. Its designer wishes to remain annonymous. Colors are still to be determined.
