We endorse the HGSU-UAW’s strike authorization vote and urge our members to vote YES to authorize a strike. We stand in solidarity with student workers advocating for protections from discrimination and harassment, quality health care, protections for international students, and a fair contract for all. For over a year, HGSU-UAW has been negotiating on behalf of student workers. The Harvard administration has been stalling negotiations and refusing to compromise on things as basic as discrimination protections. It is time to let Harvard know that this is unacceptable. The strike authorization vote would not begin a strike, but would enable the democratically-elected bargaining committee to call a strike. Our members can learn more about the process at HarvardGradUnion.org/FAQ.
