    Workers, students bond against Calif. company for better pay, benefits By EMILY BINGHAM
    It's not every day that students in the Union are handed fliers from a man wearing a giant chicken head.

    The man behind the beak was William Kramer, a union organizer from a Dart Container Corporation plant in Corona, Calif. Kramer spent Monday afternoon distributing leaflets on campus in an effort to pressure the company into hastening union negotiations.

    "This is my second time here - and my second time as a chicken," Kramer said.
