The Man Made Plagues
In 1992 I walked into the University of North Dakota Library to do some research of Congressional documents. I remember quite well the bitter cold of -40 below 0 and wind chills that would freeze you to the bone with some speed. However this cold is a warm summer day at the beach, in comparison to the documents I found....

UC workers are paid so little that they depend on welfare to get by
First the governor proposed a rule change that could eliminate lunch breaks for California workers. Now, if a new report about the University of California is correct, it seems lunchroom workers themselves are paid so little at UC campuses that many of them qualify for nine public subsidies for the poor, including food stamps and public housing....

Schwarzenegger Threatens California State Teachers Retirement System
Four big squares marked “vacant” sat alongside photos of remaining board members on the California State Teachers Retirement System (CalSTRS) web site this week. It seems the squares’ former occupants (two Republicans and two Democrats) had the nerve to vote against Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s proposal to privatize pensions of all new state workers, including teachers, into a 401(k)-type system starting in 2007, and his proposal to shift onto local school districts the state’s contribution t...
