Students Occupy Administration Building at UNC- Chapel Hill
ø
Here’s a message from students at UNC Chapel Hill:
Tell the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill to Publicly Support the Right of Workers to Organize!
Members of UNC-CH Student Action with Workers are currently camped out in South Building, home of the university administration, with a guerilla art exhibition on the history of labor rights at UNC-CH.
Students set up the exhibit Monday morning, November 21st with the demand that Chancellor James Moeser publicly affirm the following statement:
�The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will adopt a policy of noninterference in any unionization process and will require all contractors to adopt the same policy. The University affirms the right of workers to democratically organize unions by a method of their own choosing. We will honor any agreement negotiated between contractors and their employees.�
So far the Chancellor has refused to support this statement or enter into a dialogue with us about the issue. Email or call him and let him know that you support the right of UNC workers to a democratic union organization process!
Contact: Chancellor James Moeser, UNC Chapel Hill:
1-919-962-1365
jcmoese@imap.unc.edu
Tell him to support the statement and enter a dialogue with his students!
Ask why he won�t support the internationally recognized right to organize
At UNC Chapel Hill.

For the record:
In May of 2001, I did not know what was to happen. I was told only to be in the Yard late in the afternoon. I didn’t question it. I had seen them lay the groundwork. So far in 2005, I have seen only the beginnings.
I NEVER accused anyone of being too radical. I was accused of suggesting things that were somehow not radical enough. I was attacked again for defending myself. Tabling somehow seems to qualify as radical, figuring out who can actually get a room somehow doesn’t.
