Jorns was questioned about his lack of involve- ment in union negotiations during his sixth annual State of the University Address. He said local union workers do not want him to be involved with the ongoing negotiations. This statement clearly depicts Jorns’ ignorance of the union negotiations. AFSCME local clerical/technical union 981 has picketed more than four times during the past year. The workers have been working without a renewed contract since June 1997. Each time they carry placards and chant for the president’s atten- tion. Along with clerical and technical workers, AFSCME union 981 also represents building ser- vice workers and food service workers. The BSWs and food service workers are currently fighting a subcontracting clause that is proposed in their contract. Jorns’ claim that union members do not want him involved is a clear depiction that Jorns does not have a clue what is going on within the university. Clerical/technical workers picketed during the annual university Christmas party in December. When asked his opinion regarding the picketers he Wrongly accused racism he endured.
