Check out this letter to the register today about across the board raises which talks about why merit pay (like YNHH is offering the dietary workers) puts us back where we were in 1984, when you could work at Yale as a C&T for 30 years and still be making less than $12,000 a year because pay scales, promotion, and raises were all dependent upon managerial whim and control. Also worth noting is this rare editorial which is actually mildly critical of the University Properties Broadway gentrification agenda in the wake of Barrie Ltd. Booters' announcement that they are being forced to close due to Yale's 70% rent increase and mandated extended business hours. Pretty interesting to see the editorial board of a paper that's always been slavishly in favor of the ONHSA line to publish something that makes Yale's actions as a landlord look less than benevolent. The cracks in the facade are showing.  ¶ 11:56 AM
