2 Monday, November 6, 2000 UE Local ISO Protests Administrators' Deaf Ears, Backs Bond UE Local 150 members were concerned about how the bond money would be spent regarding UNC workers. By Brook Corwin Staff Writer UNC-CH housekeepers raised their voices Friday morning outside the UNC Office of General Administration, both in support of the higher education bond referendum and in protest over lack of administrative interest in worker’s con cerns. Nine members of UE Local 150, the North Carolina public service workers union that represents workers at 12 of the 16 UNC campuses, gathered for a rally relating to the $3.1 billion bond ref erendum. The package would give UNC-CH about SSOO million to use for capital improvements if it passes Tuesday. “We are here because UE-150 would like to express a solid endorsement for the North Carolina higher education bond referendum,” said graduate stu dent Matt Smith, a member of UE 150A, a subgroup of the union that rep resents graduate students. But Smith also said a number of issues related to UNC workers deserved similar support. “When students are vot Campus Calendar Today noon - The UNC Gospel Choir will sing in the Morehead Lounge of Graham Memorial. 4 p.m. - Amir Pneuli of the Weizmann Institute of Science and New York University will speak on “Verifying Reactive Systems: Taming the Infinite” in Oil Sitterson Hall.

Smith said the four issues, along with a focus on avoiding privatization of UNC services, have not been addressed by UNC administrators. “Our main concern is that the UNC administration and (UNC-system President) Molly Broad have not expressed any con cern for these five principles.” Union member Robin Ellis said student support of the five principles would require direct communica tion with “If you forget that the workers are what make this University run, you're forgetting what's at the heart of this University. ” Matt Smith UE 150A Member University officials. “Because these issues are not on the ballot, the way you vote for these things is by calling Molly Broad and UNC administration and telling them you support UNC work ers.” Wearing tags that said “the University must come to the table,” Union mem bers said their frustration stems from not being invited by UNC administrators to discuss the distribution of bond money. “From what I understand, not one worker has been asked for their input,” Tuesday 5 p.m. - HOPE will be sponsor a showing of “Die Saint of Fort Washington” in Union 218 in honor of Hunger and Homelessness Week.

Although the bond money is to be spent solely on capital improvements, Smith said concerns of the Union still must be kept in mind by UNC admin istration during the allocation process. “We understand the bond money is spoken for - the issue it comes down to is how the money will be spent,” he said. “Are you going to hire a union contrac tor? Are you going to hire a contractor that pays living wages? Are you going to hire new people, or are you going to dump more work on our existing workers’ backs?” UE Local 150 President Barbara Prear was not at the rally, but she said both the bond and increased fund ing for University workers deserves pub lic support. “We want North Carolina citizens to vote for the bonds, but we also want them to express concerns for other citi zens doing all the work,” she said. Prear also said executing the capital improvements without giving increased support to workers would result in understaffing. “If you’re going to build anew build ing, you need to have adequate staffing J ' The University and Towns In Brief Local Groups Seeking Volunteer Assistance Volunteer Orange!, a service of Students Prepare to Teach Spring Courses By Sam Atkins Staff Writer A student-teaching curriculum devel oped last spring is getting into gear as UNC students begin to register for the pilot program.
