Technical Union negotiations update coming soon to member emails and a link here.
"Water Rules", a double entendre. Water Rules are needed to keep our fresh water clean & abundant. Michigan is a freshwater State (just look at a map), so we also like to exclaim, "Water Rules"! Our natural resources are important to everyone here, regardless of political party.

It's important to be cognizant and to follow ALL signs in a work zone, including Yield signs. Remember, trucks are much bigger, have more blind spots, and take longer to stop – so always give trucks extra room in a work zone. #ShareTheRoad #DriveSafely #WorkZoneSafety #TZD
Technical Unit impasse brief was submitted Monday. Reply briefs are due next Monday. We remain available to the Employer to work out ensuring the safety of our Dental Hygienists working in solo assignments with violent inmates. This issue is the only one remaining.

Tomorrow the Technical Unit continues the fight to protect our dental hygienist members. They should not be working alone with violent inmates. Our negotiations impasse brief is due tomorrow at 4pm.
The Tech Unit bargaining team participated in a 6 hour negotiations mediation session yesterday with the CSHO. A major hangup is prison dental/medical staff required to work alone with violent inmates. The union proposed this for 5 years. We had a sexual assault in March. No more
The Technical Unit requested mediation for ongoing negotiations with the State. Mediation occurs Friday, Oct 8th at 9am. Key issues include health & safety, protection for prison workers, critical worker wages and certification.
Today the Technical Union requested mediation help from the Civil Service Hearing Office for negotiations with the State Employer. Primary issues remaining involve safety, recruitment, retention, certification & the need for an apprenticeship program for road quality inspectors.
The detour on the #MDOTUP US-41 project in Houghton has been lifted and 2-way traffic in the MTU campus area has resumed. The last segment of work for this season, on the west end of campus near Pearl Street, is expected to wrap up by mid-October.
