<b>Dear All, <br><br>Harvard University <span>recently reported paying
six top money managers almost $27 million. At $26 *billion*, the
"non-profit" University's endowment exceeds the GDP of entire countries.
Meanwhile it treats lower-paid
workers as disposable objects. More clerical workers in Widener Library
have just received layoff notices, and a shockingly high percentage of
these (two-thirds!!) are immigrants and people of color. More than 340
clerical union jobs have been cut in the past year alone. Workers in
Harvard's
dining halls, recently hit for the first time with a January break
without work or unemployment benefits, desperately need summer jobs. And
Harvard continues to exploit temps. Please join campus workers and our
allies as we rally to demand that Harvard create more union jobs! The
clerical union's Agreement expires in just over one month, so our action
will also remind the University that campus workers deserve an good
contract with on concessions. <br>
<br>The picket will take place Wed., May 26 at 5 p.m., at Harvard's
Holyoke Center (1350 Mass. Ave. Cambridge, 1 block from Harvard MBTA).<br><br>Facebook
