Hours before its second strike deadline this fall, Harvard’s graduate student union reached a tentative agreement with the University for a four-year contract Monday evening. The union then approved two votes: an imminent vote on whether to continue the strike and a ratification vote on the tentative contract agreement that will open Thursday.
Regardless of the tentative agreement, the union’s second strike in a month officially began at midnight. The Harvard Graduate Students Union-United Automobile Workers bargaining committee recommended, however, that student workers not withhold their labor on Tuesday as the 24-hour vote proceeds.
