I was pleasantly surprised to
see Mr. Tim Wheeler's article in
the Jan. 12 issue of The
Cavalier Daily concerning the
depressed wages of University
employees. However, I feel
that Mr. Wheeler failed to take
note of two important groups
of State employees:
1) Our fine Security Force
is grossly underpaid for the
services they perform for the
students, faculty, and
administrators.
2) Black workers, because
of the abundance of white
racism at the University,
generally enjoy lower pay and
status than the white workers.
These are but a few of the
exploitative practices in the
Charlottesville-Albemarle area,
but since it concerns the
students, they can do
something about it.
