These people arent taking responsibility for themselves. They also need to learn to speak english. They should be greatful they have a job. If they want to be payed better go to school!!! they get payed way more at UC than at mcdonalds. They also don't mention how UC pays for 100% of there medical. I dont know any fast food that does that. Be greatful for what you have!!

oaktownaaron, many workers at UC HAVE GONE to at least some college. I personally know some workers at UC who have Associates Degrees, and some Cal State experience, but simply cannot find more lucrative employment with benefits - benefits that are an absolute necessity for workers with children!

I feel that AFSCME 3299 union is corrupt and doesn't have the interest of the service workers. All of the significant decisions and issues that have accured over the years, have benefited the UC system. The best decision for the service workers to do, is to vote out and replace AFSCME.

Why don't you get a life you ugly old racist. You probably don't work at a U.C. campus, so you don't know what your talking about. The minority of people that you are talking about, are born here in the United States. Try reading a book, and get your facts straight.

Nancyfair needs to think about ethnostupidity. You are the once practicing ethnocentricity and holding people down. It makes no sense to have a bunch of kids that you cant aford, move to a foreign country and not learn the language and then whine about how little you get paid. The message should be to go to school, learn the language, and get out of the hood. Not expect handouts and pity. This is what is holding these people down. Like I said, I got out because I worked hard and went to school.

With all the money rolling in for nuclear and pharmaceutical research, there should be plenty of money in the system to provide a decent standard of living for all UC employees. Without students and workers, the UC is nothing.
UC workers deserve better, and we can do better!

I feel that the AFSCME 3299 should of addressed the pay and benefit issue with the UC system years ago. I work at the University of California Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, Ca. When I started over ten years ago, the union was very weak, but did get stronger up to this point, but I still feel that they side with management on many issues, which give the UC system the upper hand in keeping the pay and benefit package inadequate. President Yudof must take a stand in order for change. |
