Rally for UM System Workers Draws Over 100 Protesters

More than 100 people attended a protest for the Laborers Local 955’s “Rally to Stop Paid Time Off Cuts for UM System Workers” Saturday.

A new proposal, offered by UM curators back in June, would affect about 13,000 UM staff across it’s four campuses: UMKC, UMSL, MU, Missouri S&T and those in the MU Healthcare system.

The proposed 31 days off is less time than the 41 days currently provided.

The UM System will host a series of online sessions this month for those who want more information about the proposed changes.
