My name is Ken Kegan. I am a bus driver at UCSC and I want to thank you for your support of our union. You, the students, are our employers. If you are happy with our service and our support for student concerns, then we are doing our jobs. The best part of driving buses is the enthusiasm, passion and kindness of the students. I am grateful for every “thank you” I get from a student. Our union is better than ever now, having tossed out the lying, wheeling – dealing past leaders and replacing them with WORKING staff who value our worth as workers in the UC system. Please ride my bus, especially the NIGHT OWL on Wed, Thurs, and Friday and let me know what I/we can do to make our service better. I graduated from Kresge in 1985 and I’ve watched UCSC try and pressure workers but the students always have our back and together we will and do keep UCSC on the ethical path of its’ founders’ ideals. I am worried that they have taken the arts for granted and capitalized on science research while dismantling/decreasing art courses. Community Studies should be restored and Journalism should be a required course for all writers. You are the voice of the university and FISHRAP is the gentle reminder that college life can also be entertaining and irreverent. Have fun, be safe, study hard and love life at the best university in the world.
