Two years ago, the bus drivers and mechanics at Pace University, – an institution that just gave its President David Caputo a $100,000
raise while doling out stingy “merit” increases of less than 3% to the staff – organized a union to win better pay and benefits. The University has refused to recognize and bargain with the union ever since.
On Friday, October 6th, 2006, Pace University will host an “employee recognition day” and a self-congratulatory “birthday celebration” for its 100th anniversary. Join New York State United Teachers, the NYC Central Labor Council and AFL-CIO on Friday, October 6th, 2006 at 2:00 for a solidarity rally in support of the bus drivers and mechanics at Pace University. Hold Pace accountable. Demand that they recognize the rights of their workers on this “employee recognition day.” Let them know that a legacy of union-busting is nothing worth celebrating.
Join us at 1 Pace Plaza at the corner of Park Row and Spruce Street, directly across the street from City Hall and immediately south of the
Brooklyn Bridge exit ramp in Manhattan.
