PRESS RELEASE ANNOUNCING STUDENT SUPPORT FOR UofM WORKERS STRIKE
Students Stand in Solidarity with U Workers
Contacts:
Kyle Johnson 612-554-8989
Lauren Sigel 262-884-7012
Students for a Democratic Society is joining with other groups to
organize one of the first kickoff meetings to support University of
Minnesota workers Wed 9/5 at 7pm at the University Baptist Church,
1219 University Avenue SE. Minneapolis, MN 55414.
In defiance of University threats and intimidation, students are
organizing to take classes off campus, join picket lines and to
disrupt "business as usual" at the University of Minnesota.
"The University can't be a first rate educational and research
institution while being a second rate employer," says Kyle Johnson SDS
member. The University Administration tells students that the U can
function as normal, and that they have offered a fair contract.
However we know that is not the case. Our education is dependent on
the workers at the University of Minnesota, and we will continue to
organize student support for the strike.
"Students support the strike of University workers because it is an
issue of fairness and economic justice." Said Lauren Sigel, 2nd year
university student. Our goals for the meeting are to help students
understand the workers issues and organize them to take action.
