Dear Aryt:
Campus Staffs Struggle to Survive in Cambridge
Please Register below to receive Zoom Link for
Wednesday evening June 24, 7:00 - 8:00 pm for an important meeting
with graduate students and staffs whose unions are negotiating with
MIT, Harvard, Tufts and Lesley University for a living wage and decent
working conditions. Thousands of these union members are our
Cambridge neighbors. They will report on the outstanding issues
between their members and the administrations of the institutions.
These administrations continue to be insensitive to the needs of these
core employees as well as as to the general shortage of affordable
units in Cambridge. We will also discuss the failure of Harvard and
MIT to build graduate student/staff housing on their campuses and
properties.
