To the Editors of the Crimson:
As employees of Harvard University, we are looking forward to a vote for or against the union to take place soon. As for us, we will vote against a union.
We want others to know that there are those of use who do not think life at Harvard will be "better" because of a union. We expect it to be worse. The union does not have a clear platform. The union could bargain away our benefits in order to get other demands met. Most importantly, a union shop promotes inflexibility and mediocrity over individual efforts and achievements.
We are tired of being interrupted at work and called at home by union representatives. We do not want to pay dues to these people. So, yes, we are looking forward to voting and hope that other employees who do not support the union will not feel threatened or afraid to get out and vote NO. We need to stand together on this.
