The Ohio State University is one of the largest public universities in the country. So what do we do when the administration tries to sell our tax-payer owned energy management system to a private corporation, for private profit and benefit, at the expense of unionized campus workers? We fight back.

OSU President Michael V. Drake is attempting to sell important public resources to corporate greed through a massive privatization plan. First it was the parking lots, now it’s the energy systems, and we don’t know what he has planned next. We can’t let corporations take over our public university so that they can drive down wages and threaten union jobs.

Ohio State United Students Against Sweatshops [USAS] has been leading the fight to #StopTheSellout alongside the campus workers of CWA Local 4501. They have been campaigning for almost two years, and President Drake is still refusing to respect the needs of workers and students. Will you take action and support?

We will gather at 3:30pm on Friday, February 24 at the Wexner Center Plaza at the corner of N. High St. and 15th Ave., with a planned start around 3:45pm.
