FOR YOUR INFORMATION

I don't know that much about unions, and didn't know that UT had a union?

Thanks for making me aware.

As stated "UT will not tolerate intimidation or retaliation directed at
employees on this campus who support a living wage...any such intimidation
and retaliation would be absurd and unacceptable at UTK...The University has
a firm policy and practice of freedom of speech and inquiry, and dialogue
and debate around controversial issues of social policy and social justice
are not only tolerated but appropriate and welcome on the University
campus."  (Vice-Chancellor Phil Scheurer, Friday, March 3, 2000)

I guess this means on their campus, facilities maintenance persons,
janitors, all staff etc., can practice freedom of speech and inquiry."
