It strikes me as some- what peculiar that the work ing man is seldom in a close relationship with

7 his employer. Is this the natural state of affairs between employers and employees? Why is it then that the oppressed working man at UPEI finds a friend in The Cadre? Shouldn't it be rather that his friend

1' be his employer? But, no, his friend is The Cadre who, by the way, is not on the best of terms with the administration. Con- sider: the working man

in turn, is not treated as a friend by administration. Shouldn't the administra— tion be a friend not only to the employee, but to The Cadre as well?

Since all good is cre- ated and administrated by administration, there must be some flaw with the working man and The Cadre.

The flaw is this: the poor man, by virtue of his poverty, cannot reconcile the administrations sense of "good" with his degrad— ing state of poverty. He must say something-and that is—the flaw-he can not continue in enslavement and poverty wrought about by administration.

N

The only flaw in The Cadre is that it agrees with the working man. Now, I wonder, just what should we do? Should we praise the administration? No, we cannot, because they are wrapped—up in everything we stand against. (You do not wrestle with the ways of SCUM by joining their ranks)

Perhaps then we should cease to speak on behalf of the working man? No, because he is one of us and that would be betrayal. It seems that we shall continue as we have been. INDEED WE WILL!

\NATCH OUT G.J. !

The CADRE has become aware of unethical happenings at G. J.'s and that establishment's non- concern for the student; only for the student's dollar.

Watch for an expose on these practices in the next issue of

our society to govern and manipulate you in the service of their ends, you will find the dark cloud of oppression to be your constant companion. In case you may be wondering why those non-academic empl- oyees who have been here since as far back as 1948 have not received higher salaries than- they now have, is because UPEI became an entity only in 1969 which seemed to change the fact of length of time of employ— ment to mean anything. It is too bad for them that St. Dun— stans ceased to exist for it

‘ seems their seniority is noth—

ing to UPEI. In talking with the Comptroller's office it did seem as though UPEI has no respon— sibility in acknowledging their seniority before the establish— ment of UPEI.

It would seem that they never really began to work until UPEI came into existence.

This, so far as I am concerned, is an indicator that the instit— ution is more important than the people it is designed to serve. That it runs smoothly, and to the advantage of those who stand to reap the most from it (wealth— status) is more important than the

common everyday worker who, ' because he does not have the adv-

angages of a "higher" education, social prestige, etc. is discr— iminated against simply because he is not important enough as a person to warrant better treat— ment.

Our decrepit values put people beneath them, which is a ridiculous obscurity because people are the entities which give birth to values. We, in our greed and evil, have posited values (money, property, status, success) the nature of which puts men against man; father

against son; friend against friend. Can it continue?

No! It must not. Those of

you who feel the yoke of op= pression the most—~the poor, the underprivileged, the discriminated must act, in the name of humanity to bring about those changes so necessary for true human development. Do not be afraid to speak; your future depends on it; so does that

of your children.

Workers:' your salaries are de— termined by a pay—scale which was set up by others than yourself, yet, you must conform to it. If you are to improve your lot you must demand that that pay—scale be abolished. Hopefully, this will come to pass through union— ization which will enable you to have some negotiable powers which you do not now have.

Those who comprisethe elite at UPEI (and other large corporate bodies) are not subject to a rigid pay-scale. They can neg- otiate their salaries and, in those cases where some element of a pay—scale is in effect, it is not without negotiation privileges.

Rememberzl so long as you allow yourselves to be treated as animals by the UPEI adminiStration, you will have the existence of one.

WORKERS: UNITE!
