PSLM's Public Rallies Force University to Take Notice

Offner says students in the living wage campaign began their involvement by speaking with workers to get a sense of the labor situation at Harvard.

PSLM encourages Harvard employees to give personal testimonies at their rallies.

The organization maintains a particularly close relationship with the Harvard Union of Clerical and Technical Workers (HUCTW), the University's largest union.

PSLM uses HUCTW headquarters on Mass. Ave. to plan rallies and set up phonebanks to call students.

PSLM does not recieve any funding from Harvard's unions.

Most of its funding comes from the University, through the Phillips Brooks House Association (PBHA), of which PSLMt is a member. The organization receives an annual $300 grant from PBHA and has access to Phillips Brooks House and its facilities. PBHA also matches any private donations that PSLM receives.

Most of PSLM's budget goes toward the photocopying of flyers and posters.
