Harvard Dining Hall Workers Petition University Over Contract Wages
What happened
Dining hall workers at the university are currently negotiating a new contract with the institution, a process that began in March and has been ongoing. Workers have been without a contract since June 19. A petition, signed by more than 1,000 undergraduates, was circulated by the Student Labor Action Movement to demand fair wages, health insurance, and job sustainability for the workers, who are represented by UNITE HERE Local 26.
