On Wednesday, October 5 at 6AM, 750 Harvard University Dining Services workers, represented by UNITE HERE Local 26, began an indefinite strike for a sustainable annual income of at least $35,000 and affordable healthcare. Harvard is the wealthiest university in the world, yet they refuse to adequately compensate the workers who feed and take care of students every day. This is the first strike Harvard has seen since 1983. We joined 600 people at the rally, including students, faculty, and other Harvard workers. Enough is enough!
