“Hey Harvard, you can’t hide! We can see your greedy side.”
The Harvard Graduate Students Union-UAW held a sit-in on Wednesday inside University Hall to pressure the Ivy League college to offer what the union considered to be a fair contract.
“I’m here because the administration has shown that they are not listening and when we give them petitions or when we stage rallies they don’t do anything…and they bring very few proposals and none that are satisfactory to the bargaining table,” Michael, a first-year student in the comparative literature program, said in a video posted on Facebook.
"We are exercising our rights as workers to demand protections for harassment and discrimination because, while Harvard is a world-class institution, it has a world class #MeToo problem," Sophie Hill, a graduate student worker in the Government Department, told Newsweek in a statement."The Administration needs to provide a contract now."
Swain told Newsweek that Harvard is"committed" to reaching a bargaining agreement and noted there have been over 30 meetings since negotiations began in mid-October.
