April 01, 2025

Good morning,

It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that the Daily has decided to end its use of daily newsletters. No longer will you receive fun blurbs and up-to-date news right at your fingertips. I know it makes you sad, but trust me, I am devastated as well.

However, it being April Fools Day, none of that is true. For those of you who were glad to hear we were done, shame on you. For the rest of you, just scroll on down to the actual news.

Have a great day,

Members of Teamsters Local 320, a worker’s union chapter based out of Minneapolis, organized in front of Morrill Hall early last week to announce they will be seeking contract negotiations for better work conditions again.

Teamsters began the renegotiation process for worker contracts March 27.

Service workers from different University of Minnesota campuses attended the rally, which lasted roughly an hour, to speak on the goals they hope to achieve during contract negotiations.

Xavier Shepler, a student and food service worker who traveled from UMN-Duluth to speak at the event, said that lending his voice for those who could not make the trip represents the greater goal of a union.

“In a union, we all stand together, there’s strength through numbers, strength through having a common voice and working towards a common goal,” Shepler said.
