Monthly Report - January 17, 2026

Happy New Year!

I am excited that we are back in our space at the Senior Center. It has been a lengthy process finding accommodation for our meetings and special events.

Thanks to all of you who showed up for the end of year celebration. It was a great time! We had to make a last-minute venue change but in all, it worked out!

The AFSCME 1583 Facebook page is up and running.

I encourage you to    join and engage with your union brothers and sisters. We will post updates as well as answer any union questions that you might have.

When receiving a DLO you should have a union steward present. If you are not afforded one, reach out to the union and let us know. Stay tuned for upcoming information meetings.

Welcome new members! Did 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, Michigan Union. Please let me know if you would like a site visit so that I can plan accordingly around your breaks or lunches. 

District Stewards are needed on Central Campus! Please Join the team! 

As a District Steward, you will assist your fellow union members, Chief Stewards, and your Union when you become part of the team. If you are interested in joining, please email Angela Dameron, President, [email protected] or contact the union office at, 734-480-1300.

Chief Stewards are in the office on Fridays and available to answer your questions, 12pm-2pm. You can reach them by calling 734-480-1300.

In Solidarity,
