BERKELEY'S BETRAYAL: WAGES AND WORKING CONDITIONS AT CAL.

BERKELEY (Calif.); CALIFORNIA

The article provides information about the report "Berkeley's Betrayal: Wages and Working Conditions at Cal," by Gretchen Purser, Amy Shalet and Offer Sharone. The report, the result of interviews with sixty-three University of California in Berkeley, California employees, highlights and criticizes the university's treatment of its blue collar and clerical staff. The authors juxtapose worker accounts of low wages, imperious supervisors, and unsafe working conditions with data from the university's own worker satisfaction surveys to depict a university indifferent to the day-to-day experiences of its workers.
