24 University of Arkansas, Fayetteville employees protested against potential outsourcing of grounds and custodial work to a private company. Association member Mike Pierce argued outsourcing could harm employees, and emphasized the significance of paying living wages to custodians, who contribute to increased student applications. If outsourced, employees would maintain salaries but may lose benefits and be subject to termination.
