What the heck. I have been at conference this weekend, and when I have told people we are have unionized, everyone says we’re screwed.
Given we’re screwed I like this slogan which I found here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_labor_slogans
“When we’re screwed, we multiply”
Seems like that’s how we got here anyway between the firing of Lariviere and other forces of corruption. I am so freaking angry they are going to steal 1 percent of my earnings to give to some adminstrator who will pretend to have our best interests in mind. TTF, watch this thing destroy the reputation of your university.
How about “Molem agitat nihil”?
The union took 2% of my salary and all I have to show for it is this stupid T-shirt
Solidarity with part-time yoga instructors!
AAU – screw it, we don’t need to hang out with the cool kids anyway
Beamers for everyone!
UO Matters – or at least it used to
How about: “UAUO: We Love Democracy When It Supports Our Cause.” The thundering silence on the other thread in response to the simple question of how many TTF turned in cards likely tells us all we need to know. Jane Cramer provided some helpful insights into some of the union’s thinking/strategies, but she would only repeat the claim that a majority of each constituent group turned in cards. But the question stands: is the claimed majority on the part of the TTF based on 50%+1 of all TTF at the university or is it 50%+1 of the TTF after the law faculty, supervisory PI’s, etc. have been excluded. The only way to know the answer to that question is to know how many cards were collected from TTFs. I can’t imagine that the union folks wouldn’t be forthcoming about that information–or at least state categorically that they received cards from 50%+1 of all TTF at the university–if in fact a majority of the university’s TTF had signed on. So the only reasonably conclusion is that their majority claim relative to the TTF depends on excluding lots of folks before the 50%+1 tally was taken. Hence, the proposed T-shirt slogan.
I want the anti-union folks to have a shirt too…
“Our core wasn’t properly polled”
I think Anon@2:06 did a better job. I don’t even know what that means.
Careful Kangaroo, you’ve just revealed yourself to the world as a member of one of two disjoint sets of UO faculty.
How about–“sore losers post on a blog” and on the front, and on the back, “concerned people take part and shape” This is not very catchy,
but to the point.
Oh by the way–if you want to be honest, you might mention that the University administration and their lawyers determined the exclusions of TTF (save for the law school, who excluded themselves) and the numbers were overwhelming–over 57% for TTFs. So perhaps you should ask for the public records–see the factual data and stop acting on rumors. Where did you get your numbers from?
Dog says
whatever the slogan, it should contain the word “clusterfuck”
I will work on it, maybe even send you some artwork …
By the way, this dog notes that they are not on the Excelsior list,
nor the A or B exempt lists. The dog doesn’t exit!
Hoorah for the dog
Dog is my copilot. That’s my motto. Don’t know if the union folks agree.
