65 Marches On

An MIT clerical and technical employees' group will announce to its full membership this week that it has affiliated itself with District 65 of the Distributive Workers of America, a New York clerical workers' union.

Clerical and technical groups at Harvard Medical School and at the Cambridge side of Harvard have already entered similar relationships with District 65, as have groups at Columbia, Barnard, Yale and Princeton.

Peter Van Delft, a District 65 organizer who is apparently the wunderkind of the university clerical workers organization, was once again in town this week, spreading the word at Phillips Brooks House, among other places.
