I actually saw something in the Daily Gazette recently that this was being used by Living Wage types to get leverage against the college. I think the idea was that if the College didn't pay the employees at the Inn a living wage (and maybe even give them all other benefits that College staff are provided?), they would try to get this referendum passed, which would make the Inn an even worse business proposition for the College.
I'm not sure if I understood everything correctly, as I wasn't paying that much attention to it...but it seemed like a silly power play by the activists on campus...
