Today marks the second day of the GET-UP Strike: The protesters handed out blue flyers that said, "Welcome to Penn-Mart. We're rolling back educational quality." The flyer spoofed Wal-Mart, which has been criticized for how it treats employees. ...Earlier in the week, Penn officials sent a message to employees intimating that they could be docked pay and disciplined if they missed work because of the strike. Yesterday, Barchi and Penn president Judith Rodin sent out a more tempered letter. "The picketers have agreed not to interfere with the free movement of people on our campus," they wrote. "In that same spirit of civility, we ask that you treat the picketers with respect."
