Judy Hiramoto is a San Francisco artist and was a member of the faculty
of the "liberal"college of Goddard in Vermont. She discovered that the
administration was retaliating against Asian and Black
faculty. She herself was targeted by the university and
filed grievances with UAW Local 2322 international representative
Karen Rosenberg and a also sent a complaint with UAW
International President Bob King. The union according to
Hiramoto, had illegally changed the contract without a vote of
the members. She was also told by the NLRB that nothing
could be done. The college president Barbara Vacarr also
supported these illegal retaliations. This video interview
took place on June 4, 2012
