Buffalo News - UB shifting back to unionized custodians

This is an interesting story. Some well - meaning (although a bit naive) students, and a mix of a combination of equally well- meaning faculty as well as some garden variety kooks (forget about spring ahead - their clocks are set to 1969)at alma mater have effected change. While the well meaning ones wanted to support the cleaning staff at UB (some very nice people, BTW) their actions will probably put those same cleaners on unemployment. While the result of this decision is that UB will now employ union custodians, the reality is that the people in those jobs currently have no guarantee of getting those jobs. With friends like those . . .
