The ["UC Davis Chancellor" Chancellor's] ["Dialogues with the Chancellor" Brown Bag meeting] was crashed by protesters. Though these quarterly meetings are supposedly designed to facilitate communication between the chancellor and the campus proceeding, the chancellor canceled the meeting rather than dialogue with the protesters. An alternate analysis of what happened is that the protesters would not allow the meeting to proceed, and the meeting needed to be canceled as a result.

- Richard Proctor, - I was taken aback upon reading your misleading article, "UC Davis - reaches agreement with Sodexho," in the California Aggie last - Thursday. As a student who has been fighting for the UC employment of - our dining hall workers, I was disturbed by the way the article seemed - to support the actions of the UCD administration without questioning - all of the details. The article fails to address many of the most - important issues in Sodexho workers' continued struggle for UC - employment. Wages and benefits are only a small part of what workers - are asking for, and without a union contract, even these cannot be - protected or guaranteed. This "agreement" is not yet in writing and - has not been signed by either the UCD administration or Sodexho, but - even if it is implemented, there is no guarantee that the wages of - still contracted- out on-campus food service would rise at the same - rate as those of UC employees. Furthermore, this "agreement" leaves - the health care issue up in the air; it states that "Sodexho will - augment its existing medical benefits plan by increasing the employer - contribution level, effective January 1," but goes on to say, "the - specific employer contribution will be determined by Sodexho." - Sodexho has not yet implemented the across the board 2% wage increase - it promised earlier this year, so can we really expect it follow - through, let alone provide free vision and dental coverage as the UC - does? I don't. - There are many problems that anything less than UC employment will - not solve. Sodexho employees, many of whom have been on-campus - food-service workers for years if not decades, are denied fair wages - and just wage increases, affordable healthcare, comprehensive - retirement/pension plans, a union contract, job security, paid - vacations, a third-party and impartial complaint review board, full - time 40 hour jobs, accident and life insurance plans, harassment - protection, free uniforms, fair workloads, seniority rights, shift - differentials, education and training leave, and a voice on the job. - This "agreement" is nothing more than a band-aid solution to a gaping - wound that only UC employment will solve. UC employment is more than - just a wage increase; it is respect. There is a great deal of honor - that is involved with working for the University of California. This - school is distinguished in many ways and garners respect from all - corners of the globe. How can we ask people to work on our campus, but - deny them the honor that comes with the territory? It is disappointing - to see that the UCD administration does not value the people who work - on its' campus enough to give them respectable UC jobs. The food - service workers at the Sacramento Med Center have UC employment, and I - think it is only right that our dining hall workers receive the same - honor and respect. With that respect will come solutions to the many - problems these workers face today. - Furthermore, I am personally concerned with UCD's continued - investment in private interests over those of students and the - community. This "agreement" claims that "future decisions will be - guided by university principles," but where were the Principles of - Community in the consideration of this decision? Since the campaign - to end contracting-out began on March 1st, UCD and Sodexho has - continuously ignored the demands of workers, students, faculty, - politicians, union leaders and the Davis community for just employment - on UC campuses. This "agreement" is no exception; no workers, - students, or union representatives were involved in its drafting, - which has been denounced by State Assemblywoman Lois Wolk (D-Davis) as - a violation of "good faith" between the University and Sodexho - employees. The administration of UC Davis has shown a great - disrespect towards students and community members through this action. - If the administration does not value the students it is meant to - benefit or the workers who spend their days on campus serving the - university community, perhaps it should clarify the principles to - which it refers. Chancellor Vanderhoef has continuously failed to - abide by the Principles of Community he is obligated to respect, and - has failed to engage in public discussion of the issue, even in his - Brown Bag Luncheon last quarter when he walked out of his own meeting. - The fundamental issue is that the University of California is a public - institution paid for by Californians, including those affected by - UCD's cutthroat labor practices, and there is no room for a private - multinational corporation capitalizing off of student fees and poverty - wages on UC Davis campus. All profits made on-campus should be used - to justly serve the local community instead of being appropriated by - private corporations, and anything less violates the university's very - own Principles of Community. Sodexho earns a 2% profit from our - campus. The number sounds small, but when 2% of the money spent on - campus is funneled, as sheer profit, into the pockets of men who don't - have any affiliations to our campus, it becomes clear that millions of - dollars are lost that could be spent on wage increases and the like. - As a student I feel deeply disrespected by the administration for - assuming that I don't care about my fellow community members or - wouldn't realize that the administration cared more about corporations - than communities. - However, as much as I am disturbed by the administration, I am - further alarmed at the Aggie's coverage of the court hearings for - those arrested during the May 1st protest here in Davis. Speaking on - behalf of the 24 arrested, of which I am one, we are appalled that you - published an outright lie, stating that we "pleaded guilty" in court - on August 29th when in fact we all plead not guilty! For this mistake - to be printed in our newspaper is an affront to good reporting, good - editing, and an affront to those who stood in court to secure rights - for future protestors. We maintain our right to freedom of speech and - assembly and are committed to fighting the charges until we receive - the just outcome. A type such as this would never be acceptable in a - professional newspaper, and I am concerned that you were either unable - to edit your own article, or simply chose not to. I am not sure who - you spoke to, or how you came to the conclusion that we plead guilty, - but I expect a higher quality of reporting from the Aggie. We demand a - public apology for this mistake and expect that all future coverage to - be truthful. Anything less is unacceptable. - We would like to let the public know that the "agreement" that UC - Davis has "reached" with Sodexho is entirely inadequate and fails to - address many of the issues that Sodexho workers face every day. I - hope that in the future, this newspaper will provide the students and - university community members that read it with honest reporting, - rather than information funneled to it by the UCD administration.

- I was taken aback upon reading your misleading article, "UC Davis reaches agreement with Sodexho," in the California Aggie last - Thursday. As a student who has been fighting for the UC employment of our dining hall workers, I was disturbed by the way the article seemed to support the actions of the UCD administration without questioning all of the details. The article fails to address many of the most important issues in Sodexho workers' continued struggle for UC employment. Wages and benefits are only a small part of what workers are asking for, and without a union contract, even these cannot be protected or guaranteed. This "agreement" is not yet in writing and has not been signed by either the UCD administration or Sodexho, but even if it is implemented, there is no guarantee that the wages of still contracted- out on-campus food service would rise at the same rate as those of UC employees. Furthermore, this "agreement" leaves the health care issue up in the air; it states that "Sodexho will augment its existing medical benefits plan by increasing the employer contribution level, effective January 1," but goes on to say, "the specific employer contribution will be determined by Sodexho." - Sodexho has not yet implemented the across the board 2% wage increase it promised earlier this year, so can we really expect it follow - through, let alone provide free vision and dental coverage as the UC does? I don't. - There are many problems that anything less than UC employment will not solve. Sodexho employees, many of whom have been on-campus food-service workers for years if not decades, are denied fair wages and just wage increases, affordable healthcare, comprehensive retirement/pension plans, a union contract, job security, paid vacations, a third-party and impartial complaint review board, full time 40 hour jobs, accident and life insurance plans, harassment protection, free uniforms, fair workloads, seniority rights, shift - differentials, education and training leave, and a voice on the job. This "agreement" is nothing more than a band-aid solution to a gaping - wound that only UC employment will solve. UC employment is more than just a wage increase; it is respect. There is a great deal of honor - that is involved with working for the University of California. This school is distinguished in many ways and garners respect from all - corners of the globe. How can we ask people to work on our campus, but deny them the honor that comes with the territory? It is disappointing to see that the UCD administration does not value the people who work on its' campus enough to give them respectable UC jobs. The food service workers at the Sacramento Med Center have UC employment, and I think it is only right that our dining hall workers receive the same honor and respect. With that respect will come solutions to the many problems these workers face today. - Furthermore, I am personally concerned with UCD's continued investment in private interests over those of students and the - community. This "agreement" claims that "future decisions will be guided by university principles," but where were the Principles of - Community in the consideration of this decision? Since the campaign to end contracting-out began on March 1st, UCD and Sodexho has - continuously ignored the demands of workers, students, faculty, politicians, union leaders and the Davis community for just employment - on UC campuses. This "agreement" is no exception; no workers, students, or union representatives were involved in its drafting, - which has been denounced by State Assemblywoman Lois Wolk (D-Davis) as a violation of "good faith" between the University and Sodexho employees. The administration of UC Davis has shown a great disrespect towards students and community members through this action. If the administration does not value the students it is meant to benefit or the workers who spend their days on campus serving the university community, perhaps it should clarify the principles to which it refers. Chancellor Vanderhoef has continuously failed to abide by the Principles of Community he is obligated to respect, and has failed to engage in public discussion of the issue, even in his Brown Bag Luncheon last quarter when he walked out of his own meeting. The fundamental issue is that the University of California is a public institution paid for by Californians, including those affected by UCD's cutthroat labor practices, and there is no room for a private multinational corporation capitalizing off of student fees and poverty wages on UC Davis campus. All profits made on-campus should be used to justly serve the local community instead of being appropriated by private corporations, and anything less violates the university's very own Principles of Community. Sodexho earns a 2% profit from our campus. The number sounds small, but when 2% of the money spent on campus is funneled, as sheer profit, into the pockets of men who don't have any affiliations to our campus, it becomes clear that millions of dollars are lost that could be spent on wage increases and the like. As a student I feel deeply disrespected by the administration for assuming that I don't care about my fellow community members or wouldn't realize that the administration cared more about corporations than communities. - However, as much as I am disturbed by the administration, I am further alarmed at the Aggie's coverage of the court hearings for - those arrested during the May 1st protest here in Davis. Speaking on behalf of the 24 arrested, of which I am one, we are appalled that you published an outright lie, stating that we "pleaded guilty" in court on August 29th when in fact we all plead not guilty! For this mistake - to be printed in our newspaper is an affront to good reporting, good editing, and an affront to those who stood in court to secure rights - for future protestors. We maintain our right to freedom of speech and assembly and are committed to fighting the charges until we receive - the just outcome. A type such as this would never be acceptable in a professional newspaper, and I am concerned that you were either unable to edit your own article, or simply chose not to. I am not sure who you spoke to, or how you came to the conclusion that we plead guilty, but I expect a higher quality of reporting from the Aggie.

We maintain our right to freedom of speech and + assembly and are committed to fighting the charges until we receive + the just outcome. A type such as this would never be acceptable in a + professional newspaper, and I am concerned that you were either unable + to edit your own article, or simply chose not to. I am not sure who + you spoke to, or how you came to the conclusion that we plead guilty, + but I expect a higher quality of reporting from the Aggie. We demand a + public apology for this mistake and expect that all future coverage to + be truthful. Anything less is unacceptable. + We would like to let the public know that the "agreement" that UC + Davis has "reached" with Sodexho is entirely inadequate and fails to + address many of the issues that Sodexho workers face every day. I + hope that in the future, this newspaper will provide the students and + university community members that read it with honest reporting, + rather than information funneled to it by the UCD administration. We + demand recognition for our dining hall workers and we will not stop + fighting until all on-campus contracted-out workers receive UC Jobs + NOW!!! + Sincerely, + Katie Davalos + --["Users/mhayashi"]

	+ + -this is a bit incorrect. If the the University brings the workers in house, all employees would have 1.5% of their pay taken out, but due to California state law. If the worker does not fill out a membership card for the union, they pay 1.5% into Fair Share, not the union. If they do fill out a membership card, then the money goes into the union. It is done like this because even when people do not fill out the membership card, they are still represented by the union when they have problems. But emphasis on this aspect misrecognizes the fight to become university employees for a strictly economic motive and (intentionally) forgets the social aspect. It is also the feeling of being part of the university, of having collective bargaining rights, job security, etc that is lost in the strictly economic motive argument.
