textEaT MY RUBBER MoTHAFUCKA! by Bicycle Bandit
The Project March 2006 page 11 About a year ago, I was riding down High St on my bike.

textThe Struggle Continues: UCSC Custodians Demand Wage Parity by Ryan Couture
The Project March 2006 page 4 Worker exploitation at the foundation of western capitalism has never gone unchecked. From slave ship mutiny, to the implementation of the weekend and child labor laws won by early labor unions, to the victory of AFSCME workers for a better contract from the UC last April, labor has always found new ways to influence the decision-making bodies that impede their progress towards fair, safe, and dignified employment.
