Working women under attack!
Members of HUCTW (the Harvard Union of Clerical and Technical Workers) are facing sharp attacks from management:
Joan Frankel, unfairly fired after 25 years’ excellent service. Joan’s termination letter blamed her for making a helpful suggestion aimed at saving Harvard money! This was said to be insubordination. Joan has filed age discrimination charges with the MCAD (Mass. Commission Against Discrimination);
Phebe Eckfeldt, facing retaliatory discipline for becoming a union activist. Phebe has 15 years experience at Harvard. After being elected as a union rep this year, and assisting co-workers, Phebe has been unfairly threatened in writing with termination. She has filed Unfair Labor Practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board;
Marian Merullo, laid off in June ’09 after more than 22 years of dedicated service in Widener Library. Marian has applied for at least 20 HUCTW jobs but can’t get rehired, even though a union/mgmt. committee said she should be. Marian is surviving on unemployment benefits for the moment, and faces the loss of her home.
