AUSTIN (AP) — A group of
University of Texas-Austin faculty
on Monday said they support this
week’s planned “sickout” by staff
workers demanding better wages
and working conditions.
The University Staff Association
is threatening to hold the work dis
ruption Wednesday through Friday.
About 100 faculty members from
several fields of study say they will
show solidarity with the staff by mov
ing some classes off campus, giving
alternative assignments or teaching
students about the value of staff.
The state’s largest university has
about 17,000 non-teaching employ
ees. About 4,800 have previously
committed to call in sick this week,
said Peg Kramer, president of the
staff association. An on-campus ral
ly is scheduled for noon Tuesday.
Some staff workers, however, have
been scared by threats of discipline and
even firing by university administra
tion, she said. State law prohibits pub
lic employees from organizing work
stoppages and UT officials consider
the planned sickout an illegal strike.
The staff association says the
sickout falls within workers’ rights
to demonstrate dissatisfaction with
pay and work conditions.
