Friday marks day three on the picket line for student workers on strike at Columbia University.
They’re asking for is to be fairly compensated, be provided dental and vision care and have arbitration not affiliated with Columbia for discrimination and harassment claims.
“PhD student workers do not make a living wage in New York City,” one UAW striker said. “With a university that has a $14.3 billion dollar endowment, we think that’s a little bit outrageous.”
