TO THE EDITOR:
Why was there no article about Friday’s Employee Appreciation Day? It was quite a party, and the University really worked hard to put together a fun day for its employees. The festivities ranged from carnival games to a delicious buffet and even included a DJ and dance party. The Daily Tar Heel says it’s been “Serving UNC students and the University community since 1893.” UNC employees certainly qualify as part of the community. How about endorsing the University’s policy and “appreciate” the employees who make this campus possible?
Staff positions (positions regulated by the State Personnel Act of North Carolina) like housekeeping, maintenance, accounting and tech support may not be as glamorous as the University’s Faculty EPA positions (positions not regulated by the State Personnel Act of North Carolina) but we are still an integral part of UNC.
We often work behind the scenes or on the other end of the phone from students and faculty. We love our jobs and we love UNC. Please show us some love, too.
