GUEST ROOM | The Cornell Community Stands with Striking UAW 2300 Workers
|
Dear Cornell Administration,
On Sunday, Aug. 18, Local 2300 of the United Auto Workers called a strike of full-time service and maintenance workers at Cornell. Cornell workers tried to avoid escalation through good-faith bargaining — but the greed and intransigence of the administration has left our full-time workers with no choice. Now, students, faculty, staff and the entire Cornell community are worse off because the administration refuses to work toward a fair contract. The UAW is asking for a 20 percent raise to establish a $24/hour living wage for all workers, a cost of living adjustment for their wages, no-cost parking and steps to address unsafe working conditions.
Opinion
BATEMAN | What It Is to Break a Strike
|
Cornell’s vision of community is hollow and immoral. The strikers look to chart a different course; don’t get in their way.

Instead of reviewing other areas of its supposedly-meager spending budget, Cornell has decided to find out how well the University functions without the people who take out the trash, mow the grass and cook the food on our campus.

|
Rather than negotiating in good faith, Cornell sent a committee of highly paid lawyers, negotiators and administrators — many, no doubt, with salaries pushing six-figures — to stonewall the UAW bargaining team.

Given the status of the negotiation, I think it would serve both the University and the UAW to avail ourselves of every obtainable resource.
