The Election Committee of the San Diego Local (Local #5) of the Coalition of University Employees is saddened to hear of the recent passing of the Local #5 president, Kathy Ciufi . Kathy Ciufi was first elected Local President in 2004. Before then, she served as union steward, Vice President, and Acting President for the San Diego Local. Prior to coming to work at UCSD in 2000, she worked at General Dynamics/Convair. For eleven years during her employment at General Dynamics/Convair, she acted as a grievance representative. When she was hired at UCSD, she brought a tremendous amount of experience in advancing the cause of workers’ interests from that job. Change in 2010 Election Calendar As almost all members of the San Diego local were unaware of Kathy Ciufi ’s poor health as CUE Local #5 began the nomination process for the 2010 CUE Local #5 election, many CUE members might have decided to not nominate colleagues for office, thinking that the status quo could be maintained without the participation of new officers. In light of the news of Kathy Ciufi ’s death, CUE members are asked to reconsider helping CUE reinvigorate itself and to nominate colleagues to run for office. In order to enable more candidates to run for office, the Election Committee has decided to push back the Election Timetable by two weeks. The deadline to nominate a colleague for office is now Thursday, January 28th.
