No Layoffs Campaign makes a showing at Harvard Commencement

HLS No Layoffs @ Harvard Coimmencement
The No Layoffs Campaign, which argues that laying off low wage workers is not the way to deal with Harvard’s ‘financial woes’, made itself visible at the morning excercises of the Harvard Commencement. A phalanx of new graduates, held up yellow signs with one red letter each spelling out ‘No Layoffs’ . Most likely they are members of the Student Labor Action Movement which has been a cosponsoring group throughout the year. They appeared very briefly on the official internet feed.*
Update: Graduates shown above were in fact members of SLAM from the Law School. The No Lay Offs Campaign Blog has more complete report including pictures of the rest of the days activity.
*My experience has been that commerical internet video players block screen capture software. A word picture will have to do for the time being. I suspect that this will survive into the archival footage.
