THU 12 PM, TELL HARVARD: HANDS OFF PATRICIA!

[Geoff Carens]

Tomorrow (Thursday, 8/20), starting at 12 noon, workers, students &
community members will picket
<https://www.facebook.com/events/1620324638234737/> in support of a woman
of color with a disability, under attack by the world's richest university.
Please join us! We'll meet in front of the Smith Campus Center at 1350
Mass. Ave., Cambridge (Harvard Sq T, next to Au Bon Pain).

*Background:* After she took a disability leave, Harvard employee Patricia
was hit with unfair production quotas and work rules, then slammed with
verbal and written threats of termination. The only African American in her
department, Patricia endures micro-management and constant criticism, while
colleagues enjoy flexibility and autonomy. Passed over for promotion in
favor of a less-qualified, non-disabled white candidate, targeted for
speaking out, and set up to be fired, Patricia is suing Harvard for
discrimination on the basis of race, color, gender, disability, failure to
hire and retaliation. She is a dedicated cataloger with 13+ years of
service. Let's all rally around Patricia!
