3,000 Columbia University graduate workers go on strike in New York City
New York, March 18 (RHC)-- In New York, over 3,000 research and teaching assistants at Columbia University have gone on strike after two years of unsuccessful negotiations with the prestigious college over their union’s first contract.
Graduate workers are seeking fair wages, improvements to healthcare and childcare provisions, as well as protections against discrimination and sexual harassment at work.
Workers say Columbia has threatened to withhold pay for those on strike and is spreading anti-union messaging to students
