U of M's 3300 clericals and secretaries, that's who!

Thousands of U of M professional, skilled trades and service em-
ployees are currently protected by negotiated contracts with Univer-
sity administration. They've gained dignity, effective grievance
procedures, job security provisions, bonus pay for years worked, bet-
ter pay and benefits, and respect for their professionalism.
These benefits, monetary and non-monetary, are not offered to
secretaries and clericals. Not yet. U of M's clericals and secretaries
have no union representation and so the Administration is not under
any obligation to give them more than necessary.
Soon, however, U of M's clericals and secretaries will have the
chance to change that situation. Next week they'll have the oppor-
tunity to vote for a union in a secret-ballot election. Once they gain a
union, they'll also gain the right to negotiate a contract with the
University.

The union they'll be voting for is AFSCME-a specialized union
just for employees of public institutions like U of M. AFSCME
represents professionals, technicals, and white- and blue-collar employees
in universities, hospitals, governments and non-profit agencies across
the country. Over 250,000 of their one million members are clericals
and secretaries. So AFSCME speaks with authority and knowledge
when it comes to the needs of office staff. That's different from any
other union in the country!
Clericals and secretaries -this is your best chance to put yourself in
the collective bargaining picture. You, too, can gain the many im-
provements which other U of M employees take as a matter of course.

ON MAY 24th, 25th, and 26th,
SAY YES TO AFSCME!
