No Layoffs 2010 HUCTW Election Slate

HUCTW ELECTIONS
UNION MEMBERS VOTE TUES., DECEMBER 7!
Go to www.huctw.org for times and places to vote.
Below are personal statements from candidates:

OUR PLATFORM
- No Layoffs and Budget Cuts: Harvard Has the Money!
- Rehire the laid off HUCTW workers: Stop the abuse of term and temp workers! Full union rights for all!
- Fight the targeting of longer service employees + for a real seniority clause in our next contract.
- Higher raises in the next contract! Reverse the trend of declining raises!

GENEVIEVE BUTLER FOR PRESIDENT
“In one year we lost at least 340 HUCTW jobs (7% of our membership), due to layoffs, attrition and
‘voluntary’ retirements. Our current contract features the lowest raises HUCTW members have ever
received. It’s not possible to blame the economy because Harvard recently received a $50 million gift,
purchased an enormous dairy farm in New Zealand for $20.7 million, and currently enjoys a $27 billion
endowment. Please vote BUTLER/ONYEAGORO/THEADORE/KORITZ: We want real
representation, real advocacy and a real union!”

EMEKA ONYEAGORO FOR VICE PRESIDENT
“On December 7, we need to send a strong message that this is a union of the members of HUCTW,
directed, and sustained by all of us and not by the very few on top. I ask for your vote because I
understand what is at stake; we need to strengthen our grievance process, fight the targeting of longer
service employees, stop harassment of union reps, end the abuse of term and temp workers, and reverse
the trend of declining raises.”

DEBORAH THEODORE FOR TREASURER
“I am running for Treasurer because I think our Union needs to be closer to its membership than to
management. I am running because I am tired of seeing the same names shuffling through all of the
executive positions in the Union. I am running because I’ve seen our Union leadership back away too
often from supporting and defending members who have been unfairly targeted for personal, not workrelated
issues.”

JOSHUA KORITZ FOR SECRETARY + UNION REP (FAS SCIENCES REGION)
“I will be a strong advocate for workers, not the boss. I will always fight for workers in any situation.
The job of a Union Rep is to talk to union members, rather than HR. I’ll oppose increased workloads
and push for good working conditions - we as Harvard workers have the right to stand up for our rights,
and the Union exists to protect us.”
