Here's the resolution, as received from the Legislative Committee.
CSUEU March 4, 2010 Resolution
Whereas, the deepening economic decline of California and the United
States threatens the maintenance of public services including education, healthcare and all local, regional and state jobs and,
Whereas, the need for a unified political strategy and action plan for the defense of public education and the users of these services is critical and,
Whereas, the continued successful efforts by anti-labor forces using this crisis to make structural changes to bring privatization of education and the outsourcing and destruction of our public services through furloughs and lay-offs in education and public services is growing and,
Whereas, this year the need to have a united mass action that unites all 1.5 million public workers and those threatened with the loss of their public services to act together collectively is vital and,
Whereas, the California Faculty Association, the California
Federation of Teachers, the UTLA, the OEA, UESF, the California
Federation of Labor, the San Francisco Labor Council, UPTE, AFSCME
444, AFT 2121, UPWA.info and many other organizations have called for support to the March 4 actions to defend public services and education
Therefore be it resolved that the California State University Employees Union (CSUEU) – SEIU 2579 endorses and encourages the local chapters to participate in March 4 actions on their campus and communities.
