For years, PSA members
have worked for fair working conditions for UT employees.
Together
with the United
Campus Workers - Communications Workers of America
Local 3865 (UT's staff union), we have participated
in some major victories, including winning unjustly
fired
staff
their
jobs back,
a bonus raise for the lowest-paid UT workers, better
overtime rules in Housing, Hepatitis B vaccinations
for plumbers
and
custodians,
a transfer
period for
van drivers, securing back pay for furloughed employees,
preventing the implementation of a Christmas holiday
furlough, and generally making the issues of wages
and respect widely discussed on campus and across Tennessee.
The 2005-2006 Academic year will be no exception.
Following UCW-CWA's lead, members in PSA will work toward
three main workplace goals:
Activism can and should be an integral
part of the college experience. This year, please join
PSA in making UT a better workplace and better university.

April
2001: One in a series of rallies and
marches in 2000-2001 jointly organized by the
United Campus Workers and the Progressive Student
Alliance.
Actions like these put the issues of wages and
working conditions at UT squarely in the public
discourse. There is no going back!
