Wage inequality has risen more in California cities than in the metropolitan areas of any other state, with seven of the nation’s 15 most unequal cities located in the Golden State.Under pressure from elected officials, and from a union-led speaker boycott that caused theaway from UCLA, the UC Board of Regents adopted new outsourcing guidelines last month.
Napolitano cites the need for “some limited flexibility where using outside or temporary workers is unavoidable.” In her surgery center, she said, workers who sterilize instruments are mostly temps. “People leave their job for whatever reason, and instead of hiring a permanent employee, they hire a contractor. They bring them on for six or nine months, and then they extend them.”
Amanda Crawford, a 26-year-old phlebotomist and mother of a 5-year-old, was also on the picket line, wearing a T-shirt with the message, “END UC OUTSOURCING.” Hired to work at UCLA in February by PROCEL Nurses and Allied, a San Pedro agency, she said she was paid $20 an hour — less than the $27 an hour earned by employee phlebotomists.

Shame. These universities are making millions (maybe billions) of dollar from exorbitant tuition fees and don’t want to pay benefits for some of its employees.
That's the plan. Same plan every other business tries to use. They and the state can talk about the 'people' all they want but when it comes right down to it cash is king.

We discussed this in my MPA - Public Labor Relations class. We talked about Management and Unions... such a bargaining, negotiations and contracts. We also touched on how the public sector is outsourcing jobs to the private sector to cut down costs.
No! I expect better headlines from a unionized newsroom, smh.
