Ask
President Hart:
How will labor unrest affect students?
|
|
|
|
AFSCME
Local Union 1723, the union which represents a wide range
of Temple support staff, including advisers, financial
aid specialists, and clerical workers, has been without
a contract for nearly a year, and the University administration
has not negotiated in good faith. In addition, the contract
of TAUP, the union which represents professors and faculty
members, expired on October 15th, and little progress has
been made since negotiations began in June.
These employees are the workers who deal most directly with students.
Their working conditions are our learning conditions.
|
 |
|
|
At
a rally on October 14th, AFSCME, TAUP, SLAP, and other
supporters demand that President Hart and the Board of
Trustees treat workers fairly. |
|
ASK PRESIDENT
HART:
|
|
|
|
|
• How will labor unrest, and an otherwise dissatisfied
workforce, affect our learning environment?
• What would labor unrest, like a strike, mean
for my ability to graduate on time?
• How would a merit pay plan, like the one her
administration proposes, affect the academic
integrity of our professors and staff?
• Why has our tuition gone up, but the salaries
of our faculty and staff begun to fall behind
inflation?
• What is her opinion of unions and the right
of workers to collectively bargain with her
administration?
• What is she doing to make sure these contracts
are settled fairly?
