Following UA’s demand for budget cuts, campus union leaders are reporting layoffs and protesting - Carolina Cuellar, Arizona Luminaria

About 150 University of Arizona union members and protesters gathered Monday in front of the administration building to fight layoffs and denounce campus leaders for fiscal mismanagement, warning that some workers are already reporting via a labor survey that they are being laid off. “As of today, we’ve confirmed about 30 layoffs,” Maria Sohn Hasman, the union’s media representative and a UA staff member, told Arizona Luminaria following the “Labor Against Layoffs” protest organized by the United Campus Workers Arizona.
