Grad Employees Walkout at UMass Amherst

On April 21st 2005, GEO, along with The Massachusetts Society of Professors, Take Back UMass/ staged a Walkout/ Boycott at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, to show support for:

* FAIR CONTRACTS for ALL Campus Unions
* STUDENT CONTROL of Student Organizations
* A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE in the number of Faculty in Classrooms and Labs
* The COMMUNITY ACTION DIVERSITY PLAN, rather than Chancellor Lombardi’s plan
* NO CUTS in Real Wages or Benefits for ANYONE on Campus
The link on the title has numerous links including mp3 and streaming video.
