Thoughts on sending a text message about this today or tomorrow

<div><b><font size="4">No Layoffs Campaign
- Picket at Harvard!</font></b></div>
<div><b><font size="4">TOMORROW Thursday
5:30pm</font></b></div>
<div>Lamont Library, 11 Quincy Street, Cambridge, MA 02138</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The No Layoffs Campaign will picket outside of Lamont Library,
the undergraduate library where <b>Occupy Harvard </b>has set up
its temporary, targeted occupation, to call attention to the
University's draconian policies.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Support the union of clerical workers and nonunionized Harvard
employees, including our research librarians!</div>
