The University of Michigan's Graduate Employee's Organization (GEO) had recently engaged in a strike over the University's COVID-19 response. However, due to the fact that state employees are not allowed to strike, the GEO faced an injunction and the potential for retaliation from the University of Michigan for their action. Following a virtual meeting Wednesday night, the GEO voted to accept an off from administration. GEO members will return to work immediately under the agreement, ending the work stoppage that began last week. At the meeting, 1,074 GEO members voted to accept the offer, 239 members voted to reject and 66 abstained.
