...picket-wielding, slogan-chanting crowd of 60 marched from the Holyoke Center to the Biological Labs on Divinity Avenue yesterday in a rally to support four Latino Harvard workers. The four employees were given layoff notices in October which were later rescinded by the University for the time being. The workers, who were also present at the rally, allege that their intended layoffs from their jobs washing cages at the Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB) department were motivated by race. “Harvard, listen! We are in the fight!” the protesters chanted in Spanish. The lunchtime...
...have rallied around them, forming a group to protest alleged racial discrimination against Harvard employees. Faculty of Arts and Sciences spokesman Robert Mitchell said Monday afternoon that the employees would not be laid off. “A committee of labor and management representatives are looking into this entire layoff process,” he said.

From Leeds but a Sydney resident since 1992, Gill will spend the summer as part of the Barmy Army, the relentlessly merry 30,000-strong force of traveling England supporters.

...whole works. He is quick to caution against comparisons between Mercedes in 2005 and Chrysler in '02, but it didn't take long for Zetsche to strike. Mercedes just announced 8,500 job cuts in Germany. That's about 9% of the work force--by German standards a huge layoff. The company's hands were tied by a previous deal with unions that guaranteed jobs until 2011, but Zetsche is circumventing that through voluntary buyouts. They will cost the firm more than $1 billion, or a whopping $135,000 a person. Zetsche doesn't mince words about his top priority...
