Thursday August 18 from 12-1pm and again 3-5pm between two campus
residence halls known as PAR & FAR, just off Lincoln Ave to the
west, in the College Court median.
This is between Pennsylvania Ave and Florida Avenues.<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471284205206_3508">

Parking will be virtually non-existent all day due to the parents and
students moving into the res halls, which is why we are there. The best
advice we can give you is to either take the bus or park as far away as
you can walk and hike over. Signs will be
available, but please feel free to bring your own. We want parents and
students to know that the issues they have heard about at Chicago State
and Eastern are here, too, that we cannot perform the services as
promised and that students and families have paid
for at past levels with the staffing levels we currently have, and that
the State budget crisis does NOT mean the University is broke -- it's
the administrative priorities that are broken.<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471284205206_3510">

At SEIU, in addition to critical and even dangerous understaffing and in
some departments over 2 years with no hiring at all, we are facing very
aggressive negotiating proposals, including a potential end to the
eight-hour day and unlimited increases in parking
fees. Not only this, but of course all State employees are facing a
potential doubling (or more) of healthcare costs if the Governor gets
his way, which is effectively a pay cut of between $1000-5000 for our
members - some of whom, only make about $18,000 a year - and even worse for some others.<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471284205206_3512">
<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471284205206_3513">
We have two different times to accommodate different schedules. Please
come when you can and stay just as long as you can. Many hands make
light work. Thanks you as always for the wonderful solidarity in this community.<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471284205206_3514">
