1 Down

and four to go.  Looks as if the Service Employees International Union has signed a four year contract with small slaary increases each year. that leaves four other unions to go, including the faculty union, which has a strike vote scheduled for the 28th.

I find it hard to work up a lot of sympathy for the faculty union.  Compared to almost every other job in the area, they are quite well paid and the job is hardly as onerous as one of the fruit pickers in the migrant labor camps near Cobden.  The administration must really be abusing SIUC faculty if they feed the need to call a strike vote.
