Faculty Senate Resolutions

The following two resolutions will be debated and voted on at the next Faculty Senate meeting at 3.30pm on April 26th. The meeting will be held in the Glasgow Lecture Hall, Jorge M. Perez Architecture Center, and the item is scheduled to come up at roughly 4.20pm. Everyone is invited to attend these meetings and a good showing wouldn't hurt.

1) The Faculty Senate requests that the President affirm that UNICCO will not lose its position as contractor as a result of any decision made by the workers regarding unionization.


2) The Faculty Senate requests that the university administration adhere to its announced policy of neutrality and indicate that it supports the UNICCO workers’ right to decide their future through a process of their choosing.

Its actually a process of SEIU's choosing, but let's not bog things down with details unfavorable to your position.

This resolution isn't neutral either. If you guys seek to characterize post hoc ergo propter hoc that a lack of support for your position constitutes a defacto advocation of UNICCO's, then this measure merely establishes the reverse condition - defacto support for SEIU and you guys.

Not neutral either, but then you don't really want neutrality anyway - you want to get your way.

Federal law gives UNICCO the right to decide, not the UNICCO workers and certainly not the Faculty Senate, STAND, or anyone other than UNICCO.
