UPDATE: Harvard Graduate Student Union – UAW Local 5118 votes to end Strike, but their fight for a fair contract continues. CLICK HERE for press release

After 14 months of contract negotiations and nearly a year without an active contract, over 4,000 workers represented by the Harvard Graduate Students Union (HGSU-UAW Local 5118) launched a strike of indefinite length today. This move follows a strike authorization vote in which 79% of the union’s voting-eligible members participated, with 96% voting in favor. Graduate student workers will suspend teaching and research labor until Harvard’s bargaining team takes substantive action in addressing the union’s key issues: pay that keeps pace with the rising cost of living, recourse for harassment and discrimination, support for non-citizen students, protections for academic freedom, and “fair share fees” to equitably distribute the expenses of union representation, among others.

 

“We tried to have faith in the bargaining process, but, after 14 months, it has become clear that our only option is to strike,” said Evan Lemire, PhD Candidate in Population Health Sciences and union Executive Board member. “Our work is not sustainable and our community is not safe without the protections we are advocating for. Harvard must understand that the university is built on our labor, and that labor is not guaranteed.”

Local 2222 knows the difficulties of a strike, and we know what it feels like to have the support of fellow Union members. 2222 was on the line on day 1.
