Savings And Loan Association A savings and loan association is a financial institution which specializes in accepting savings deposits and making mortgage loans. They are often mutually held, meaning that the depositors and borrowers are members with voting rights and have the ability to direct the financial and managerial goals of the organization. It is possible for a savings and loan to be stock-based and even publicly traded. This means, however, that it truly no longer is an association and depositors and borrowers no longer have any managerial control.
Savings And Loan Crisis The Savings and Loan crisis of the 1980s was a wave of savings and loan failures in the USA, caused by mismanagement, rising interest rates, failed speculation, fluctuation in real estate values, and, in some cases, fraud. The ultimate cost of the crisis is estimated to have totalled around USD$150 billion, about $125 billion of which was directly borne by the U.S. government, which contributed to the soaring deficits of the early 1990's. The concomitant slowdown in the finance industy and the real estate market may have been a contributing cause of the 1990-1991 economic recession. Cost of Savings & Loan Crisis Background: Many banks, but particularly savings and loan institutions, were experiencing an outflow of low rate deposits, as depositors moved their money to the new high interest money market funds. At the same time, the institutions had much of their money tied up in long term mortgages which, with interest rates rising, were worth far less than face value.
Graduate Employees And Students Organization The Graduate Employees and Students Organization (GESO) is a group of graduate teachers and researchers which is trying to be recognized as a union at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. The group's precursor, T.A. Solidarity, was founded in 1987. GESO has participated in several strikes and walk-outs over its history in an attempt to gain recognition as a collective bargaining agent from the Yale University administration. In April 2003, GESO held a voluntary election under the supervision of the League of Women Voters, in which graduate students voted 694 to 651 against making GESO their collective bargaining agent. The union is affiliated with UNITE HERE.
Recent Developments: Several hundred graduate students from humanities and social sciences at Yale and Columbia universities went on a teaching strike in for five days in April 2005 in order to gain the right to form a union, even though the National Labor Relations Board denied them of protections under the Taft-Hartley Act. University officials have stated that the strike had "minimal impact" on the operations of the school. Jesse Jackson made a brief appearance on behalf of GESO. (http://www.yaledailynews.com/article.asp?AID=29381) The university has stated that it will continue its pervious policy and will not bargain with GESO.
