Reminder: Mike Ehlert, the national AMSA president will be speaking  
tomorrow at 12:15 in Moos 2-650. Food will be served. Should be a  
great talk. Rhamy's original email follows. There is also an addition  
to the agenda because of the anticipated labor strike at the University.
	URGENT: as an immediate situation since we will be meeting behind a  
union picket line tomorrow, barring a last minute settlement, we will  
be having a brief presentation about the strike right before the  
meeting and a discussion afterwards. It has been proposed that AMSA  
issue a statement in support of the striking workers. If you feel  
strongly about this issue please be sure to attend this meeting or  
send someone to speak/vote for you.
	
Solidarity,
