Students gather to enjoy music and food for the Pride Outside: LGBTQ Welcome event at Palmer Field Monday. 

contract expired May 29, 
and an agreement on a new 
contract was made June 22. 
The new contract went into 
effect in July.

The 
new 
contract 

comes 
after 
eight 

months 
of 
bargaining 

negotiations 
with 
the 

University. 
LEO’s 
efforts 

sparked 
support 
from 

students across the three 
campuses, and they also 
resulted in a vote to strike in 
April. LEO eventually called 
off 
the 
strike 
after 
an 

agreement was made with 
the 
University 
regarding 

salary increases.

LEO 
President 
Ian 

Robinson, 
a 
sociology 

lecturer, said that though 
LEO did not get everything 
it 
had 
asked 
for, 
the 

negotiations were overall 
successful.

“It’s a terrific contract,” 

Robinson 
said. 
“It 
fell 

short in a couple of areas, 
but compared to where we 
were coming from (with) 
the baseline before this 
contract, it’s terrific.”

According to LEO’s blog, 

the organization believes 
this 
contract 
agreement 

is a historic victory for its 
members and allies.

“We believe that we have 

won historic gains in these 
negotiations, 
including 

significant salary increases, 
improved 
benefits, 
and 

stronger 
protections 
for 

Lecturer 
job 
security,” 

LEO’s 
bargaining 
team 

wrote in the post.

By 2021, the contract 

minimum 
salary 
will 

increase by $16,500 in Ann 
Arbor, $13,700 in Flint 
and $12,700 in Dearborn. 
Equity 
adjustments, 
or 

one-time additions to base 
pay, would also increase by 
$3,000 to $12,500. Equity 
will differ for lecturers 
earning more than $80,000 
annually.
