Harvard University
Boston, MA
 Campaign background:
At Harvard, home of the infamous living wage campaign
and 21-day sit-in (more
info), the Student Labor Action Movement (SLAM)
has begun a Right to Organize Campaign. The campaign
is demanding that Harvard only do business with companies
which take a neutral position on union organizing. SLAM
is also asking that Harvard demand that AlliedBarton
Security offer card
check neutrality to its workers. Card check agreements
provide that the company will recognize a bargaining
unit if a majority of eligible workers sign cards indicating
their willingness to join a union. This demand is is
part of SEIU's national campaign to organize AlliedBarton
Security Guards across the country.
