Thoughts on sending a text message about this today or tomorrow morning? 
We haven't sent anything since last week. I'd like to send at least 1-2 
a week...

*No Layoffs Campaign - Picket at Harvard!*
*TOMORROW Thursday 5:30pm*
Lamont Library, 11 Quincy Street, Cambridge, MA 02138

The No Layoffs Campaign will picket outside of Lamont Library, the 
undergraduate library where *Occupy Harvard *has set up its temporary, 
targeted occupation, to call attention to the University's draconian 
policies.

Harvard's libraries are still reeling from the staff cuts of 2008. That 
the library "restructuring" involves buyouts & layoffs has come as a 
shock to many who say that their departments are already incredibly 
understaffed.

Harvard administration has announced a plan to restructure the library 
system that will make libraries ?more efficient? which will include a 
?smaller workforce.? The jobs of hundreds of staff currently employed by 
the libraries are threatened; measures include cuts and restructuring by 
?voluntary and involuntary means.? High unemployment rates make finding 
a new job nearly impossible, especially for older workers, who are being 
incentivized to leave "or else".  Harvard?s endowment grew 21% last 
year, to $32 billion, and the library operating costs represent only 
3.3% of the annual budget.

Support the union of clerical workers and nonunionized Harvard 
employees, including our research librarians!
