	Strong Support for Clerical Workers at U of Minn
		It was known in advance, union leaders say, that many of these economically vulnerable workers would feel compelled to report to work during the strike, but that pulling out even 50 percent of the clerical workforce would plunge the university into a deep organizational and administrative crisis.
		The University of Minnesota, a land-grant university like most state universities, is supposed to be broadly accessible to all the people of the state.
		Yet with constant tuition hikes—to pay for swollen administrative salaries, along with football stadiums and pro-corporate research—students from working class families find it harder and harder to afford an education at what is supposed to be their state’s public university.
