This is a very fortunate resolution.

It's unfortunate that before we even arrived at the meeting place yesterday, the students who called for the meeting had announced another public protest. It felt like they were more interested in getting publicity for themselves than they were in hearing if any real progress could be made or an agreement could be established.

This is what desperation looks like.

The market for this kind of labor in southern Florida is what it is. We can't arbitrarily raise the pay if no on else wants to do that.

It's one thing to demonstrate on campus with students and faculty and quite another when it comes to disrupting medical facilities.

Right now we think we can get our work done with the workers who have showed up. We will do what it takes to meet the obligations of our contract.
