Harvard student workers strike to demand better pay and healthcare
Cambridge, October 29 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of Massachusetts, students at Harvard University have launched a three-day strike after talks between their union and Harvard administrators failed to produce a contract.
Members of the Harvard Graduate Students Union are demanding affordable healthcare, raises that match rising rents in Cambridge, and third-party arbitration for discrimination and sexual harassment claims.
Harvard is the world’s richest university. Since the start of the pandemic, its endowment has grown to over $53 billion.
