Excerpts:
“Antioch is the first educational institution where UE became the bargaining agent for workers. In the decades since then, and to a large extent because of things our members at Antioch have taught us, UE has come to represent employees at many colleges and schools across the country.”
“We are angry that Antioch University Board of Trustees has, for several years, pursued a policy of destroying this college – and is now prepared to toss aside the students, the faculty, the campus workers and the Yellow Springs community – as if you were all last week’s trash.”
“UE supports Antioch College declaring its independence from the Antioch University Board of Trustees, and we support keeping Antioch College open – a Non-Stop Antioch.”
