Research Foundation workers from three CUNY campuses and their supporters look on as the Grinch joins their December 22 protest outside a meeting of the RF Board of Directors. They were demanding that RF reach a fair first contract with 700 workers at LaGuardia, City Tech and the Graduate Center after years of negotiations.
“That was great,” said one union activist of the Grinch’s picket-line appearance. “He’s living proof anybody can change their hard-hearted ways, even top executives at the Research Foundation.”
NEGOTIATIONS
The union has reached tentative agreement on a number of non-economic provisions with RF management, which has also agreed to the union’s health insurance co-premium proposal that would restrict annual increases to no more than 2% per year. However, the two sides remain apart on several economic issues, including wages.
