We encourage you to call Provost John Coleman’s office at 217-333-6677 in support of UIUC’s Building Service Workers and Food Service Workers.
- If an office worker answers the phone, be respectful. Ask to speak with Provost John Coleman. If they tell you he’s not available, ask to leave a message for him.
- If the call goes to voicemail, leave a message.
- Script:
- “Hello, my name is ____ and I’m ___(position or connection with UIUC community).
- I’m calling in support of our Building Service Workers and Food Service Workers. They keep the university running, yet they are paid 20% less than workers at comparable institutions.
- Will you intervene on behalf of our essential workers and direct your team to offer a fair wage proposal?
- Thank you for your time.
