News and Updates
April Membership Meeting has been postponed. It will be scheduled at a later date.
The following message was sent to the Eastern Administration 3/19/2020 at 9:30 am.
March, 19, 2020
Administration of Eastern Michigan University;
I am writing this today to beg you to do more to protect your employees still being required to work on our campus. Employees of the Physical Plant and Dining are on the front lines of this for the University.
The members of AFSCME 3866 and others have been showing up everyday to care for students and this campus from the first day of the closure. These employees feel you have yet to show up for them. You have yet to give employees personal protective equipment and training for their use or any special training on cleaning procedures. They are working despite the risk of their own safety and safety of their families.
Buildings that have been disinfected are still being made available to the community. These buildings once cleaned should be locked and made unavailable to everyone, with a few exceptions, until a decision is made on how to safely reopen them to insure no re-contamination.
Your employees are punching time clocks in the same space, limiting the number punching time cards in a closed space does not change the risk of spreading COVID-19, if one infected person coughs everyone walking into that area is at risk. Wayne State University confirmed two employees have tested positive for COVID-19. What has to happen for you to protect your employees?
The members of AFSCME 3866 ask for this Administration to protect them. Give them the ability to feel safe and protect their families without fear of losing their jobs or what financial security they have. For employees required to continue working, provide them training, ensure personal safety equipment is available and used, minimize their risk for exposure, and recognize them for their outstanding work and commitment to the students of this institution during this unprecedented time.
The members of AFSCME 3866 demand an immediate response.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of All Members of AFSCME 3866
The following response was received 3/19/2020 at 8:11 pm.
Thank you for your note. On behalf of President Smith, Provost Longworth, and the rest of the EMU community, I’d like to thank you and your members for the excellent job they have been doing during these difficult times. We recognize your and your members’ extra efforts – in addition to the efforts of many others all across campus – to ensure EMU is able to continue providing safe, quality educational experiences for our students.
I’d like to address a few of the specific concerns you raise in your email below.
Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) has been provided to Physical Plant staff who are currently working on campus (and to other staff who are similarly situated). If there are individual instances where your members are saying this is not the case, I ask that you reach out to me directly to address each specific issue on a case-by-case basis.
As for safety training and guidance, I understand Dieter Otto has met with all Physical Plant staff who are currently working on campus and reviewed Washtenaw County Health Department COVID-19 related safety guidance on prevention, cleaning and disinfecting with them. This guidance is also available on EMU’s COVID-19 website. Additionally, all custodial staff go through disinfectant training for restroom fixtures when they initially become employed by the EMU custodial department. This is the same disinfection process used for SARS0-CoV-2. In fact, whenever a new line of chemicals is introduced (including disinfectant) each building team that uses them is provided training on the proper use of such chemicals. I also note that additional training was provided on August 14, 2018 and February 28, 2019 for EMU employees on the two teams who are using the washing and fogging disinfecting method using the Kaivac power washer and Clorox 360.
Upon learning of the time clock issue, we immediately initiated a procedure, consistent with Health Department guidelines, where no more than 10 people congregate for clock-in and clock-out purposes. The Physical Plant is currently working on a procedure to temporarily eliminate the use of time clocks altogether. Your members should be in touch with their supervisors on that issue.
EMU is continuing to examine the issue of building accessibility for faculty, staff and students. We understand your concerns in this regard and ask for your continued patience as we create solutions to address issues that arise in this evolving crisis.
President Smith also made an announcement this evening related to additional, temporary COVID-19 related leave. Please have your members review tonight’s message from the President for additional details. Please also encourage your members to review each of the President’s almost daily messages and to check EMU’s COVID-19 website for additional information and updates.
Thank you again for your message and all you and your members do for EMU. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any other issues you’d like to discuss.
Jeff

Vacancies
There has been some confusion as far a vacancy language. I have attached the language with changes from the Tentative Agreement added below. Also here are a few key points.
-When bidding on an open position same class applicants will be awarded the position by seniority (example: FM6 Custodian bidding on FM6 Custodian position)
-If there is no same class applicant then the employer may choose from the 3 most senior qualified out of class bargaining group applicants to fill the position (example: FM6 Custodian bidding on FM12 Groundsperson position)
-The successful bidder has 20 days to transfer back to old position
Please contact us if you have questions on this process
