For the second time in two years, Harvard’s graduate student workers will trade teaching and research for the picket lines as their union begins a three-day strike at 6 a.m. Wednesday, with picketing to set to start at 9 a.m. at Harvard Yard and the Longwood campus.
Harvard Graduate Students Union-United Automobile Workers failed to reach an agreement with the University Tuesday in the final bargaining session ahead of a strike deadline it set earlier this month, union leadership announced in an email to members Tuesday night.
“We need to make sure that Harvard feels the impact of this strike. This strike needs to be as powerful as possible,” said Harvard Graduate Students Union – UAW President Brandon J. Mancilla.”
