President's Monthly Report - April 2026
Greetings!
Welcome to all new AFSCME members! We have been consistently holding orientation for new employees. If you work with someone just starting their career at UofM take a few moments to introduce yourself to them. First impressions go a long way and knowing that you have the support of your union brother and sister can go a long way while they are navigating their new path.
I attended the Democratic Convention on Sunday April 19th. I try to never miss an opportunity to get in front of lawmakers and politicians to express my concerns about my union members.
If you did not make it for nominations and are interested in a steward’s position, please let me know. Questions on ESTA? Do not hesitate to contact the union.
Please take the time to join our official AFSCME 1583 Facebook page!
New members, do you know that being a dues paying member and being in good standing allows you the opportunity to vote on your contract, to attend membership and information meetings as well as hold positions within the union? Contact the union and join today!
Not receiving emails? Please be sure to update your email and password with HITS. The union primarily relies on email to notify you of important union information as well as upcoming events.
Site Visits- South Quad-Orientation, Michigan Medicine, Building Services-Orientation. Please let me know if you would like a site visit so that I can plan accordingly around your breaks or lunches.
