This winter, class struggle is in the air. On January 30, the janitors of Service Employees Industrial Union (SEIU) local 26, many of them immigrants, voted to authorize a strike, in a meeting in which 'Yes' was chanted in every language spoken on these streets
As students at Macalester, we support the SEIU janitors and by all those who resist injustice, in the workplace and elsewhere. We condemn the managements' tactics, which included attempting to divide workers along ethnic lines, and we reject any corporate control over the lives of working class peoples. The problems faced by the workers of the SEIU-faltering wages, longer workdays, unsafe jobs-are not unique or exceptional but are systemic to a capitalist order in which life is organized around corporate profit. We claim the right of all peoples to resist the dominance of capital over life and to fight for economic self determination. We stand in solidarity with the SEIU janitors, and we urge the Macalester community to do the same. Please visit http://www.seiu26.org or email mpjcsds@gmail.com to learn how to get involved.

Macalester Peace and Justice Committee-Students for a Democratic Society (MPJC-SDS) - entitled little twits who are are angry at Daddy and Mommy.
These brain-dead youths will soon be taking jobs in public education and bureaucracies - doing their part to ruin the lives of freedom loving Americans for decades.
How to stop it?
BLAH, BLAh, BLah, Blah, blah, poor wittle sanitation engineers.
What a fine sentiment!
And I've got the perfect freeway overpass under which you can live too...
Bring your shopping cart and aluminum cans!
These same students, post-strike, will picket to protest fee increases. Since they aren’t paying the bills, the protest will be aimed at raising fees even higher to promote ‘diversity’ scholarships.
The little communist twits are so cute at this age.
Injustice? Get a grip.
I don’t see the problem - raise the pay of the janitors to whatever the hell the students want it to be, and then raise the tuition of the students to pay for it.
Where do these clowns think the money for payroll comes from?
Tuition, Room and Board:
$49,124
About 64% receive financial aid on average $29k so you are still talking about $20k a year. Basically a bunch of spoiled rich guilt ridden white kids.
Macalster College is, among Minnesota institutions of higher learning, one of the most incredibly socialistically inclined schools I’v ever seen.
The attitude expressed in the letter is normal thought among most (if not all) students, faculty and administration. The level of reality detachment at Macalester is incredible - and the tuition is asttronomical as well.
If you ever have a kid who says “I’m applying for admission to Macalester”, you better put your foot down immediately and say “Sure, only if you’re paying for it”.
“Not over my dead body” is also a good alternative response.
fire them all and dissolve the union. Unions are antiquated remnants of the early 20th century and only serve to destroy business in the USA.
Maybe the ones getting the whole $50K ride from Mommy and Daddy should just quit school and divert the money to the janitor? Now THAT would be a living wage, in my book. Then the ex-student could go flip burgers.
I had discussions with students like this over affirmative action. The guilt ridden white kids who are the most vocal would never consider dropping out of the expensive school I was attending so a poor black from the ghetto could attend.
How about starting to work instead of supporting your criminal leadership you bunch of retards.
And I imagine students from this institution go on to get very good jobs in the federal agencies.
