Onions!
There are two op-eds on union negotiations. One is a reminder that union folks are communists.
These unnoticed workers also survive, not because of capitalistic gains, but from the true love of their children and family for whom they work so very hard through multiple jobs with low pay and in a market in which it has become increasingly more costly to live. Working hard to make more money to do stuff with that money? Isn't that exactly what "capitalistic gains" describes?
The other is a reminder that union folks can't be trusted.
The link between student fees and employee wages, however, is tenuous. Research has found that hospital revenues, not student fees, fund almost 75 percent of UC workers' wages. Only 8.6 percent comes from state resources-meaning that the UC cannot blame the state's budget crisis, either. Somehow, magically, this breakdown isn't subject to change even when wages change, I guess, because there's nothing fungible about money.
