Harvard Administrators: Don’t make them strike!

Dear administrators,

I am joining my fellow workers at the picket line today because you are refusing to agree to a fair contract for student workers.

Every day that our union is striking, undergraduate education is negatively impacted and the pace of research is slowed. You have the ability to end this strike and bring us back to work.

Will you agree to a contract that guarantees basic rights and protections, or will you continue to protect abusers and refuse to invest adequately in student health and well-being?

I ask you to come to the table with a contract that serves student workers now.

Dear administrators,

My TF(s) has/have stopped working during the most pivotal time of the semester because you are refusing to agree to a fair contract for student workers.

Every day that HGSU is striking, I’m not receiving the caliber of education that I’m paying for. You have the ability to end this strike and bring our TFs back to work.

Will you agree to a contract that guarantees basic rights and protections, or will you continue to protect abusers and refuse to invest adequately in student worker health and well-being?
