Guest Post By SLAM [Really! -r]

Sever Hall 113 -The Teach-in of the year [so far :)] was last night. We heard:

*Harvard janitors demanding better wages and benefits
*Harvard security officers fighting for respect on the job
*Workers standing up for their rights in Cambridge & Boston

AND hear from an International Human Rights Delegation including…

*Hon. David Bonior: Former Michigan Representative and House Whip
*Rev. Calvin Morris: Director, Community Renewal Society, Chicago
*Marieclaire Acosta: Human rights activist and former Deputy
Secretary for Human Rights and Democracy, Mexico
*Veronique Marleau: Human rights activist and consultant to the
United Nations International Labor Organization, Quebec
*Maria Adela Mejia Perez: Activist and union organizer, Guatemala

Moderated By Cambridge Vice Mayor Marjorie Decker

With an introduction By Professor John Womack, History Department

Students were reminded that they have the power to support
workers at Harvard and workers all over the Boston area.
