| Central Michigan U. Threatens to Arrest Union Activists |

Things are getting unnecessarily tense in Mt. Pleasant, MI as the administration at Central Michigan University threatened last week to arrest faculty activists and their supporters during a sit-in in the CMU administrative building, Warriner Hall. As we have noted before, the Union of Teaching Faculty (UTF) has been actively seeking agreement from the administration on a fair bargaining unit with letters, sit-ins and educational campaigns on campus. The administration has obstinately refused to work with the union to make sure that all nontenure-track faculty are able to exercise their right to vote on union representation, but this was the first time that the administration has threatened to have UTF activists arrested. The events unfolded on Wednesday, May 26th when UTF members, accompanied by tenured faculty, CMU retirees, local elected officials, and other union members, returned to Warriner Hall, intending to sit-in throughout the afternoon in an attempt to communicate with President George Ross. Less than an hour after arriving at the administration building, the chief of police told UTF representatives that the administration would not tolerate protestors inside the building. When the union objected, they were told that the police were ordered to arrest anyone that did not vacate the building immediately--the building which is actually the workplace of most of the protestors. Not surprisingly, UTF members were angry.
UTF members and supporters did comply and moved outside to rally and educate incoming first-year students and their parents about the situation contingent faculty face at CMU. They didn't leave out of fear or a lack of commitment to seek a fair outcome. "If the CMU administration wants to arrest me for standing inside a public building with a sign, then I am prepared to go to jail." said Freling. The question now is just how far CMU is willing to go to deny these faculty members their rights. Check out the UTF website here for more--including pictures!
