From WKAR Public Media:
Michigan State University Extension workers are launching an effort to form a union.
Extension employees have a presence in every Michigan county and act as educators for the agriculture, health and management of natural resources. On January 31, ballots will go out by mail for a vote to certify the union.
“This has been a bit of an awakening for people,” MSU Extension crop scout Jeremy Jubenville said. “We now recognize that. As workers, we have little agency when it comes to some of the most important aspects of our jobs.”
