Rally for No Layoffs at Harvard

No Layoffs at Harvard!

Harvard administrators just announced a plan to restructure the library system that will make libraries “more efficient” by laying off workers. Workers will have jobs restructured and cut by “voluntary and involuntary means.” High unemployment rates make finding a new job nearly impossible, especially for older workers. Meanwhile, Harvard’s endowment grew 21% last year, to $32 billion. Harvard has the money to keep its workers employed!! Join us as we rally with Harvard's library staff to oppose the layoffs in front of the the Holyoke Center!
