Meeting w/ UAW Local 2865 President, Christine Petit (11/17/10)
The following text is from the article:
“This past Wednesday, November 17, a group of graduate students at UC Irvine met with UAW 2865 President and arch-anti-strike bureaucrat Christine Petit, asking her perfectly reasonable questions about why the union leadership remains staunchly opposed to calling a strike, why they sold us out for a pay cut in real terms, and why they parrot the “share the pain” logic coming from UCOP and their campus administration. Note how Petit twice answers substantive questions by launching into ad hominem attacks on the members who asked them, as well as the awkward exchange in the last few minutes regarding job offers from management to bargaining team members.” |
