[CPRB] Campus rally TODAY!

[Ricky Baldwin]

> Unions on the UI campus
> and their supporters 
> protest today
> 
> 4pm at the archway (Lincoln and Illinois)
> 5pm at the Alma Mater (Wright and Green)
> 
> Unions on campus are facing a hostile administration
> in matters of healthcare, wage increases and basic
> recognition.  Apparently it isn't enough that the
> State of Illinois has raided its employees' pensions
> (they called it a "pension holiday") for millions of
> dollars, which they now say they unfortunately won't
> be able to pay back.  Now the university wants to
> balance its budget on the backs of its workers while
> offering big bucks to the fat cats at the top.
> 
> Join Central Illinois Jobs With Justice and tell the
> administration this community expects better.
> 
> After a brief rally at the archway on Lincoln and
> Illinois at 4pm, union and community members will
> march across the quad to the main library, where
> they
> will join more workers just getting off work at
> 4:30,
> then march north to the Swanlund Building and then
> on
> to the Alma Mater statue at Wright and Green for a
> final rally.  
> 
> Union workers will be joining along the length of
> the
> route as they arrive from work.  Community
> supporters
> are asked to join up wherever we can.
> 
> If you have to choose, come to  the final rally at
> 5pm, Wright and Green.
