Protest for UCI Workers

AFSCME 3299 needs some rice!

AFSCME is the labor union that represents a large portion of the lower-income workers that are hired by the UC system. They are the cooks, custodians, nurses, medical assistants, and techs of UC Irvine. They are the people who clean up after my college experience. And probably yours too.

They are also the people who are underpaid by 26% by the UC system. They are short-staffed, over-worked, under-appreciated. They are protesting! And they need student support!

Join the UCI workers as they protest for higher wages and better living conditions on this Wednesday of Week 10 (12/5) at the Flagpoles, from 11am-1pm, and again from 3pm-4pm.

Please come and support the workers so that they can continue to work for UCI with decent conditions and decent wages!

"AFSCME 3299 needs some rice!"?? I needs some better catchphrases. What do you peoples think about "Rocket Fuel for the Revolution!"???
