Party Wednesday May 3

Quote from John Kenneth Galbraith:

"One of my greatest pleasures in my writing has come from the thought that perhaps my work might annoy someone of comfortably pretentious position. Then comes the realization that such people rarely read."

Too true.

But this post is re a post-picket party. Our grades are due on Wednesday, and half of our faculty start holidays the next day, so we are gathering at Steve's (totally informally) on Wednesday May 3rd after grade posting to wish some of our colleagues "bonne vacances" and also to renew contacts made on the picket line. This is an invite to all who picketed with us at Davis to join us tomorrow, after 1 p.m. at Steve's. If you don't already know this place (where we gathered after our Friday picket line duties) please contact your local Davis union steward or me and we'll let you know where it is! Hope to see you all there.

We can chat, reminisce, plan strategies for the future ... one thing I like is a massive strike fund for the next time -- or just chill out. ALL picketers are welcome and this is a totally non-sanctioned event, just so that you know that neither the Local (nor the management) is involved :-)))
