Stop Union Busting at the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery
The Wisconsin institute of disovery plans to outsource the food service jobs in their new building. This will take jobs typically represented by AFSCME 171, a local union with a long history and tradition of representing the hard-working people of this campus, and hand them over to a private company paying its employees poverty wages.
The outsourcing of these jobs will undercut AFSCME and will result in workers being exploited on our own campus. The attempt to privatize these jobs is a blatant attempt to weaken AFSCME 171 as a whole and to move the entire university towards a privatized workforce.
