I am 110% pro union and believe it's better to have a union, warts and all, then to not have a union. Unfortunately, HUCTW, despite all the bullshit written about it, is simply another sellout, company union with an entrenched bureaucracy that cares more about maintaining a "special" relationship with managemen http://www.haloscan.com/comments/unioneduaction/rw_unique_entry_id_19_page10/?src=hsr#53633 Fri, 12 Oct 2007 18:24:59 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/unioneduaction/rw_unique_entry_id_19_page10/?src=hsrs#53633 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/unioneduaction/rw_unique_entry_id_19_page10/?src=hsrs#53633 Thanks for the comment, Mike. It is HUCTW's current approach to bargaining, which assumes the university and the workers have common interests, that intrigues me. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/unioneduaction/rw_unique_entry_id_19_page10/?src=hsr#53460 Thu, 11 Oct 2007 06:59:50 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/unioneduaction/rw_unique_entry_id_19_page10/?src=hsrs#53460 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/unioneduaction/rw_unique_entry_id_19_page10/?src=hsrs#53460 It has been my experience, based on bargaining for the Wisconsin State Employees Union (AFSCME Council 24) that interest-based bargaining only works if the management team (and ours) are bargaining in good faith. If management has no commitment to genuine problem-solving, it's more a farce than a breakthrough. As to the organizing style that HUCTW used and uses, I don't understand why you find http://www.haloscan.com/comments/unioneduaction/rw_unique_entry_id_33_page10/?src=hsr#28482 Thu, 29 Mar 2007 08:52:53 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/unioneduaction/rw_unique_entry_id_33_page10/?src=hsrs#28482 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/unioneduaction/rw_unique_entry_id_33_page10/?src=hsrs#28482 As a HTUP class of 2006 Alumni, this blog brings me back so many good memories...

Thanks for sharing this site with me I can assure you it will be utilized. In Sisterhood&Solidarity Tammy!! http://www.haloscan.com/comments/unioneduaction/rw_unique_entry_id_33_page10/?src=hsr#21270 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 17:52:27 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/unioneduaction/rw_unique_entry_id_33_page10/?src=hsrs#21270 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/unioneduaction/rw_unique_entry_id_33_page10/?src=hsrs#21270 What a fascinating experience this must have been. I am truly envious - six weeks of thinking about what we all do in trying to build our movement. Can't wait to hear more about it.

What an amazing experience. Interesting about the AFL-CIO, the police/union movement and no media press about this? :-) So will CUPE develop a program similar to CUPW? We need it for the young activists. Did the program cover the responsibility of union - governance and accountability - sense of entitlement versus respons... http://www.haloscan.com/comments/unioneduaction/rw_unique_entry_id_25_page10/?src=hsr#19427 Thu, 15 Feb 2007 13:33:38 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/unioneduaction/rw_unique_entry_id_25_page10/?src=hsrs#19427 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/unioneduaction/rw_unique_entry_id_25_page10/?src=hsrs#19427 This is great, Morna. Perhaps something to consider for our own union. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/unioneduaction/rw_unique_entry_id_6_page10/?src=hsr#16959 Wed, 07 Feb 2007 15:43:04 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/unioneduaction/rw_unique_entry_id_6_page10/?src=hsrs#16959 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/unioneduaction/rw_unique_entry_id_6_page10/?src=hsrs#16959 Hi Morna, This is a wonderful blog, very informative. Great piece on the police union leader. I'm looking forward to hearing the Chomsky tapes once I can get them to work! http://www.haloscan.com/comments/unioneduaction/rw_unique_entry_id_17_page10/?src=hsr#16332 Mon, 05 Feb 2007 13:25:11 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/unioneduaction/rw_unique_entry_id_17_page10/?src=hsrs#16332 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/unioneduaction/rw_unique_entry_id_17_page10/?src=hsrs#16332 Congrats on doing this blog while in the midst of the program sister! Lots of interesting ideas and resources, thanks for doing it.
