Housekeepers: our family, exploited
Thanks to Doan & Satisky’s excellent article, “Housekeepers to rebid for shifts, locations as union president resigns in protest,” the greater campus community is now aware of a grave injustice that has been unfolding for several weeks in relative silence. Duke professes to value our community, the citizens of Durham, and the staff who work tirelessly to ensure the university functions seamlessly every day. When a situation arises like what is happening to the hardworking housekeeping and Marketplace staff, I have to wonder how serious Duke is about upholding those values.
