According to Jones, the SEIU voluntarily abandoned its efforts to change the wording of the no strike clause four weeks into negotiations. If this is true, the union made a big mistake. The SEIU should make it a priority to modify the striking ban in future contracts so they have the most freedom of protest possible. It is only through retaining the power to protest that Harvard workers will be able to achieve the promises of the Katz Committee.

But what had been a long-standing cultural taboo became a seemingly irreversible religious edict in 1990 after a group of 40 women protested against the prohibition by driving cars in a convoy through downtown Riyadh. Abdullah has green-lighted a very limited population control campaign to address what may be the gravest long-term threat to stability, a birthrate unofficially put at 4.2%, one of the world's highest. (The population of Saudi nationals...
