More corruption at the Union

Today's Daily Cardinal had a front page story on mismanagement and abuse at the Wisconsin Union. Thirty three employees, most of them students, signed a letter to the Dean of Students complaining about mismanagement and abuse in their Wis. Union jobs--by their supervisor. They named some guy (facilities manager?) but of course it's really a trickle down effect from Union Director Mark Guthier who oversees all bad things at the Union.

This may not seem like sailing news, but it is if any Hoofer employees signed onto that letter. Guthier had some idiotic things to say in defending Union management, e.g. "That's only 5% of our 700 employees..." Five percent?! That seems like a lot to me, especially considering that most people won't complain even if they are being mistreated. So in reality, the percentage is probably much higher.

Another article revealed widespread "theft" by Stiftskeller employees. Apparently whenever someone pays for a pitcher with exact change, they take it as a tip and ring up "NO SALE". Obviously, the Union should lower its beer prices so less cash gets stolen! :P

In any case, it's clear that corruption permeates the Wisconsin Union from top to bottom.... and there's your connection to Hoofers, by the way.
