all for naught
So the UM administration finally replied to my (and many other) e-mail protests about the health insurance.
And what did they say?
In a carefully worded message it was "This is the best we can do, if you don't like your current coverage costs then pick another plan." They will be having more "meetings" so everyone can find out what the plans offer. Rhetoric worthy of the Republicans in the White House, as far as I am concerned. Plasuable deniability, isn't that what it's called?
I for one am not satisified with that answer.
People kept asking me when I was forming a union. I said I am not a union organizer, nor am I willing to delve into the politics involved in starting one. However if one is formed I will join.
If I am asked to support a union on UM's campus, I will.
I will only be working at UM a few more years at my age, but I will do what I can to see that others who follow me are treated with respect and dignity and made to feel that they are important.
It's the least I can do.
