A private company will take over portions of the Indiana University campus' motor pool under a plan officials say allows all school employees to keep their jobs. IU President Adam Herbert said Friday the school will contract with Enterprise Rent-A-Car for the daily rental fleet that employees use for university-related travel.
……. IU union leaders and a group of community and faculty supporters met Friday with three members of IU's Board of Trustees, delivering petitions signed by 3,455 people opposed to the school's outsourcing plans. "I think they heard us, but I'm not sure it will change their opinion," said Dallas Murphy, president of Local 832 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which represents service and maintenance workers.
