w NEWS The Michigan Daily - . Thursday, February 24, 2005 -,7A The Mich.gn Daiy.- hursday _.Fbruary 24,2005 -y . LEVINE Continued from page 1A housing issues, litigate for students in ten- ,ant-landlord disputes and lobby the city ,government to pass ordinances favorable to student tenants. Levine said he now intends to coordi- nate with SLS and the Residence Halls Association to organize a lease-signing workshop in each of the University's 15 residence halls for next fall. Despite some speculation that Levine will be challenged by a candidate sup- ported by MSA's Peace and Justice Com- mission - a left-leaning wing of MSA .that has traditionally supported controver- sial causes such as divestment from Israel WALKOUT Continued from page 1A 'on key issues, Dobbie said. The strike 'platform includes demands for "fair and ;equal access to health care, fair wage }increases and fair treatment of interna- tional employees." The current contract was set to expire on Feb. 2, but GEO approved a contract extension while negotiations continued. Both the University and the union do not view the expiration of the contract as a significant barrier and will continue to negotiate as scheduled. Graduate employ- ees will continue to teach, receive their salaries and benefits even while working without a contract. JAIL Continued from page 1A exceptions, defeating the proposal by only a 1-percent margin. Ann Arbor voted and the campaign against the Coca-Cola Company for alleged human-rights viola- tions - commission members reached yesterday said they were supportive of Levine's candidacy. Peace and Justice Co-chair Ryan Bates expressed support for the Students 4 Michigan slate of can- didates, singling out Benavides, who is a member of the Coke-Campaign Coalition and was part of Student Voices in Action, for praise. Still, there was some tension between the Students 4 Michigan leadership and Peace and Justice. Bates said he was "per- sonally disappointed" with Mironov for his "last-minute parliamentary moves" in Tuesday's MSA meeting, where Mironov passed an amendment that weakened the language of a resolution that would have urged the University to cut its contracts with Coke. The version that passed only praised the Coke-Campaign Coalition for its work. Matt Hollerbach, an MSA represen- tative and former co-chair of the Peace and Justice Commission, had measured praise for Levine. "I don't want to sound like it's an endorsement, but I can't think of anyone else currently in MSA that is more quali- fied to run," Hollerbach said. "I think he does his job with caution, and I think it's due caution. The system is set up in a way that it occasionally pits him against things that I'm fighting for, and that to me just means that the system is working." SCAB Continued from page 1A workers in an attempt to break the strike. "They are probably giving Mark Brown hope, but it's going to take a long time to outlast us," she said. According to Shaulis, many local lead- ers who are usually used as sources in Vindicator stories are growing annoyed with the replacement workers - includ- ing those from the Ann Arbor News - because their unfamiliarity with the Youngstown community is causing them to make mistakes. "It's like starting over every two weeks," Shaulis said. "These people have no context of the area. It doesn't help a paper's credibility to have people come in and make mistakes." As part of an effort to support the strik- ing workers, community members are pledging $100 a month to adopt a worker. Seventeen people have pledged. "It's cold hard cash at a time people really need it," Shaulis said. "It definitely helps." Rumors of Ann Arbor News employ- ees working as scabs have been spread widely via e-mail in recent days, drawing the ire of some Ann Arbor residents who view the paper as losing touch with its largely liberal reader- ship. Last November, the newspaper printed an editorial endorsing George W. Bush for president. GEO has been protesting changes that the University tried to make to its health care coverage last year. Dobbie said that the University did not make those chang- es because the GEO contract was not up for renewal, and the language could not be modified. The fair treatment of international employees is also an issues of great con- cern for the union because it says that many international graduate employees are mistreated. The strike platform calls for reforms to be made to the English-language test that foreign employees must take. University spokeswoman Julie Peter- son responded to the strike platform and said, "I do think we have made substan- tial progress in recent bargaining ses- sions, especially with the inclusion .of gender identity and gender expression in the contract." She said that GEO's current list of issues carries a significant cost implication. "The University is facing the worst budget cli- mate, and it is important to recognize and be reasonable about what we can pay for." Peterson said that the University has serious concerns about any form of seri- ous job action occurring because it would disrupt teaching and learning activities. "We don't think it's the best method for reaching an agreement, in addition, it is illegal for public employees to go on strike in the state of Michigan," she said. Michigan Act 336 of 1947 prohibits pub- lic employees from going on strike. ISRAEL Continued from page 1A efforts should be made to bring two sides together, not to cause disputes between the two sides, and I think the University should support the peace effort in the Middle East instead of trying to favor one side or the other." Shotan also questioned SG's purpose behind the initiative: "Is it for the ben- efit of the Palestinian people, their goal for an independent state, for a stable and peaceful life? Or if their true intent is the elimination of Israel?" But divestment supporter and SAFE President Carmel Salhi said no peace process will be complete as long as the occupation continues. "You can't have one superpower on one side of the bargaining table. And you can't have another side with 60- percent poverty rates, you can't call that a peace negotiation. The occu- pation needs to end before progress really begins" Salhi said SAFE will present a new resolution to MSA during the semes- ter which will focus on divesting from companies directly involved with the occupation. Salhi said this includes companies, such as Lockheed Martin, that manufacture F-16 fighter aircraft, which have bombed Palestinian civil- ians in the past. The resolution comes after the Uni- versity of Wisconsin at Platteville's Faculty Senate voted on Jan. 25 to rec- ommend the University withdraw its financial investments in companies that supply the Israeli military with arms. UW is the first American university to have its faculty vote to divest from Israel and has already submitted the resolution to its board of regents. it down 3,697 to 3,574, and Ann Arbor Township voted the proposal down 292 to 286. If the proposal had passed, most of the $314 million would have been used to cover additional costs incurred by expanding facilities and mental health services. The millage would have cost taxpayers 75 cents for every $1,000 paid in property taxes. the michigan daily ICC STUDENT CO-OP Housing available now and Fall/Winter 2005-6. 8-month Fall/Winter contracts $424-610/month cen- tral campus $469-663/month north campus.
