The State of Utah is going fully corporate under a new law (HB109) that creates a new Department of Technology Services (DTS) and changes the status of all new hires to exempt or non-merit so called schedule AT employees. "AT" or "exempt" employees are different than the current "schedule B" or "career service employees" such as myself in the rights they have to their jobs and in hiring and firing decisions.

At the corner of 200 South and Main Street, people took turns literally standing on a soapbox and shouting to the wind about the alleged crimes of President Bush while praising long-forgotten Utah labor figures like “Big Bill” Haywood. It was the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Industrial Workers of the World, a radical union that once made big marks in Utah, particularly when IWW organizer Joe Hill was executed here. It’s nice to know a few still recall a time when Utah was in the mix of labor activism. About 20 by our count. <br /> </p>Salt Lake City GMBMon, 25 Jul 2005 02:41:00 +0000IWW.org Editor1183 at https://www.iww.org
