Jaimie Nelson — Restaurant Workplace Project of level of activism returning to students on university Ann Arbor campuses, given the presentation just completed about fairness in wages and the earlier report on recycling. He Governor Bernstein teaches a class at the University thanked Governor Bernstein for urging his students to of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and President Reid said that attend the Board meeting and make their statements. several of his students requested to speak at the Board meeting about undocumented workers in Ann Arbor. ADJOURNMENT I am Jaimie Nelson and this is Briana Fritz, and we are members of the Restaurant Workplace Project of There being no further business, the meeting adjourned Ann Arbor. We first want to thank Governor Bernstein at 3:45 p.m. for allowing us to come speak today, and he also has been a huge help in our project. Respectfully submitted, Basically, the Restaurant Workplace Project is a coalition of students, faculty members, workers in Ann Arbor’s restaurants, and other community members and restaurant owners. We began the project earlier this year because we were worried that things that were going on behind the restaurant, behind the Julie H. Miller kitchen doors, were not being followed legally. So Secretary to the Board of Governors we started serving workers, and we found that nearly two-thirds of restaurant workers in Ann Arbor, who are mostly immigrant workers, are not being paid over- time on a consistent basis. Some are being paid minimum wage; many report fire hazards and other kind of safety hazards in their workplaces.

So we had a huge public meeting at the beginning of this month to really try to introduce this to the student community, and to the rest of the community, and also show workers that they had support from us. We have reason to believe, just because of what we found, that the same injustices could be occurring on Wayne State‘s campus, and in the rest of Detroit. So that is why we are here today; that is what makes it relevant. We want to start working with Wayne State students and faculty members immediately to try to start working and investigating what is going on here at the restaurants, and then that way we can start building more of a coalition and come aback in the fall and report to you all our findings. And at that time we are hoping to request a resolution from you, stating that you support and that you demand of the restaurants, especially on Wayne State’s campus, that they treat their workers legally under the law, that they pay them minimum wage, overtime, and allow them to work in safe conditions. We are not asking any more than what is already federal law, which is really important. And regardless of immigration status, it is really important to know that the people that are making our food and working in the kitchens of the restaurants that we are eating at, we have a responsibility to make sure that they are being treated fairly.

So that is basically all we really want to say; I want to keep it short and sweet, if you have questions. But we are starting to work with Wayne State immediately. So thank you again to Governor Bernstein.

President Reid said it is very encouraging to see some
