SGA SUPPORTS WORKERS
In a special session Thursday,
Legislature passed a resolution
of support for the demands of
the striking ARA Slater workers
at UNC-G. They also passed a
resolution concerning student
demands in the dining hall.
The first resolution, which
passed with 48 yes votes, 2 no's
and 16 abstentions, read as
follows: Whereas, the welfare of
all campus employees effects the
welfare of the entire academic
community, and; whereas,
non-academic employees
throughout the state have
recently gained improvements in
working conditions and salary
scales; and, whereas the UNC-G
employees of ARA Slater are
striving to achieve similar goals;
therefore be it resolved that the
UNC-G Student Government
supports the demands of the
Slater employees and pledges the
resources of Student
Government in order to achieve
these demands."
The other resolution, which
passed with 61 yes votes, and 2
against, read as follows:
"Whereas students are required
to pay for all their meals in the
dining hall through board fees;
and whereas students have often
complained about varying
situations concerning the dining
hall; and, whereas students have
seen no direct action taken on
most of their complaints:
therefore be it resolved that the
students at the University of
North Carolina at Greensboro
demand action on the following
items:
1. Better quality, preparation
and variety of food served in the
dining hall.
2. Establishment and
enforcement of rules of
cleanliness in the dining hall
serving and preparation areas.
3. Consideration of meal
tickets and/or pay-as-you-go
dining to be put into effect by
the fall semester of 1969.
4. Considerable
reconsideration of the Slater
contract before its expiration
this summer."
Copies of both resolutions
were to be sent to Chancellor
James S. Ferguson; Mr. John
Talantis, Director, ARA Slater;
Dean of Students at UNC-G;
Dean of Men at UNC-G; Dean of
Women at UNC-G; and one copy

| Description | This March 29, 1969, article from The Carolinian, the student newspaper of The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG), reports that the UNCG Student Government Association (SGA) had voted to support striking food service workers who walked off the job on March 27, 1967. SGA also approved a resolution calling for better food quality and cleanliness standards, more meal pan options, and "considerable reservation" of whether ARA Slater should retain the food service contract. Some twenty-five largely minority workers walked out based on specific complaints related to pay rates, working hours, overtime provisions, wage reviews, breaks, severance requirements, and dismissal requirements, and there was also a student boycott of the cafeteria. Strikers returned to work on April 2, 1967. The strike was resolved with some concessions, and food service contractor ARA Slater retained its contract with UNCG. Two photos of the SGA meeting are included with the article. |
