This blog has always been on the side of the "working stiffs," much less though on the side of the administration higher-ups.Aldo Antonellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072779969049541485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072123600670198776.post-63271337253264021742011-01-22T21:21:38.940-08:002011-01-22T21:21:38.940-08:00I think the "ancillaries" realize they w...I think the "ancillaries" realize they will soon be unemployed.

And I see they lag behind 11% in pay compared to comparable institutions. But the UC system is facing its greatest financial crisis in history. Another $500M in cuts atop all the other cuts.
