Les Bonnes Choses

UWO staff (and possibly students) received this email today:

As you may know, The University of Western Ontario has been in negotiations with the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local 772 since June to negotiate a new collective agreement for 10 employees involved in operating the steam plant that produces heating and cooling for both Western and University Hospital.

I'll suggest that the University's position should require assurances that the employees actually maintain the buildings at reasonable temperatures. We're always complaining in the Social Science Building about it either being too hot and stuffy or else too cold.
