Harvard's outrageous suspension of shop stewards Sylvia gallagher, Alan Balsam and John Schaffer represents an escalation of its continuing assault on the campus labor movement. In an episode reminiscent of the Sherman Holcombe cauliflower controversy, the Harvard administration has again seized on a minor dispute--this time the question of where on the plate Alan Balsam should put hamburgers--as a pretext for purging the kitchen workers of their leaders and intimidating the rest of the local's membership. In addition to the suspensions, Harvard has docked all the workers who walked out in solidarity with Balsam two hours...

...When Sherman Holcombe was under attack, a large number of students rallied to his defense, recognizing the reacist, anti-union character of Harvard's move to "suspend" him. It was again important that students solidly back the campus workers' walk-out against the Harvard administration. The scabbing by some 35 Harvard students reported in the May 26 Crimson (many of whom, fortunately, have stated they would not do so again) is deplorable. Not only is such anti-labor action reactionary on its face; students who scab are essentially dupes of the administration...

If Harvard continues to harrass union activists, it will face a storm of student protest in the fall, perhaps even larger than student support for the Harvard printers' strike two years ago. We urge...

Allegations raised by Sherman Holcombe in his recent battle against suspension--of the isolation and intimidation of workers and witnesses, the withholding of evidence placed on workers' job records, and the malfunctioning of the internal grievance process--all seem to be confirmed by this case. The University's actions seem to be part of a coherent, if unstated, policy of union-busting on Harvard's part. Its behavior in this case is especially unconscionable in light of the upcoming contract negotiations, and the running debate about part-time summer employment for kitchen workers...
