HGSU-UAW Strike History
We organized for a strike in December of 2019!
Check out this description from our first elected Bargaining Committee about how we organized for and went on strike in December of 2019:
It has been 18 months since we won our union in April 2018. In that time we have worked to secure fair pay, comprehensive and affordable healthcare, and protections against discrimination and harassment. And yet, the university administration has refused to agree to a fair agreement that includes these basic rights and protections. Last month we overwhelmingly authorized a strike and on October 31, we communicated to the university administrators across the bargaining table that we have a strong mandate to achieve a fair contract this semester.
We on the bargaining committee, working together with department leaders from across campus, have set a strike deadline for December 3rd. If the Administration does not bargain a fair agreement by that time, we will go out on strike.
Calling a strike is a last resort, and Harvard administrators have given us little choice but to set this strike deadline.
A strike is avoidable. The Bargaining Committee will continue to negotiate this month and will do all it can to avert a strike, but the administration must negotiate towards a fair agreement to avoid a strike.
Majority of student workers call for a contract now
about how a strike would affect your situation and how you can get invol-
ved to win a historic first contract, together.

Plan to join the pickets throughout December! In order to have strong, visible picket lines, it will be important to spend as close as possible to 20 hours on the line in lieu of working. More information on how to sign up for picketing shifts—and other opportunities to participate—will come soon.
