Oberlin College layoffs first in more than decade - Anna Merriman, Chronicle Telegram

Three Oberlin College engineers will have to make a difficult decision in the next two weeks after years of working for the college: Take a pay cut or find another job. In October, three heating plant workers and members of United Auto Workers Local 2192 received a “notice for the opportunity for voluntary layoff,” according to the college. The notice means the three workers could either accept the layoffs or take a lower-pay-grade position at the college. The layoffs would be the first for UAW workers at Oberlin College in more than a decade. It’s a difficult decision and one that needs to be made by Nov. 5, said UAW Chairman Milton Wyman. http://chronicle.northcoastnow.com/2014/10/23/oberlin-college-layoffs-first-decade/
