With steely nerves and divine clarity the heroic bargaining team of the UC Student-Workers Union (UAW Local 2865) has forced UC management to give up a keg of beer in exchange for our dental plan.
This unprecedented coup was the result not only of months of exceedingly cordial and orderly discussion with management wherein the case for the keg was made, but a strategic insight that is, hyperbole aside, otherworldly.
While nearly half of members surveyed indicated that the keg is inadequate and they are willing to fight for more, the bargaining team cautions that further action will undoubtedly lead to loss of those sweet, sweet suds. Pro-keg contingents of the bargaining team have reminded us that the union is too weak to make further challenges and warns that management has threatened to withdraw the keg in the event the union and its workers show insufficient levels of gratitude.
Workers Against the University welcomes the keg and celebrates the herculean effort of the negotiating team who have brought management to its knees and delivered this deal (did we say deal, we meant STEAL) to us.
Members will likely be given a chance to ratify this historic contract shortly.
