Union Days

I attended the panel discussion of Union Days, held on April 9-10 at ILR.
I was so impressed by hearing many stories of various unions and worker groups.

The participating groups are as follows:

Tompkins County Workers Center Living Wage Campaign
Cornell Farmworker Program
Fast Food Forward
New York Communities for Change
Restaurant Opportunities Center (ROC) United

United University Professions (UUP)/SUNY Oneonta
Fair Pay Campaign
Cornell football team members
The Model Alliance
Graduate Student Organizing Committee-UAQ Local 2110 at NYU
ILR Sports Business Society

IRLのUnion Daysというパネルディスカッションに行ってきた。
色々なグループの人々が参加。
最近、Northwestern Universityのフットボールの選手が、ユニオン結成の権利を認められた、というニュースがあった。
そこに"contract"があれば、いつでも、"negotiation"の契機があるし、そしてその権利があるはずなのだ、と感じた。
