Despite the fact that UAW met the College’s declared need for savings, the College opted to outsource 54 jobs, 100% of dining hall employees, to AVI. The UAW was only notified of this decision at the same time students, alumni, faculty and staff were, on June 22nd. They were given one week to organize a vote of their members to respond to the College’s final offer, despite the impossibility of a face-to-face meeting. Notwithstanding the College’s protestations, this is tantamount to union-busting.
