LOCK HAVEN Amid the fight against integration proposed by Chancellor Dan Greenstein, it appears Lock Haven University has achieved a significant victory. The outcries involving the integration have been left with positivity relative to the former threat of outsourcing of staff jobs.
According to Shawn O’Dell, president of American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), the jobs that were critical to being lost to outsourcing have been saved. These jobs include custodians, groundskeeper, secretaries, etc.
Confirmation came from a meeting with Bloomsburg University President/newly integrated Lock Haven University President Dr. Bashar Hanna along with members of AFSCME, according to O’Dell.
