“Once you start working here and you’ve got a family, you’re never going to see them,” a striking worker told The Sun.

“Once you start working here and you’ve got a family, you’re never going to see them,” a striking worker told The Sun.
Bangs Ambulance Workers United stands in Solidarity with our Sisters and Brothers of UAW 2300. We support their decision to strike and we salute their courage to stand up for themselves.
Cornell University does not care about you.
No matter what work you do for the University, how high your grades are or how much you sacrifice to pay that tuition bill, the leaders of this institution do not care about us. They don’t care about their students, their workers or the people of Ithaca. They only care about lining their pockets, propping up a façade of progressivism and appeasing their billionaire trustees. But now, it’s finally time to cut the crap. Our workers, with a strong mandate from the national UAW and workers across the country, are not standing for it any longer.
Cornell workers are on strike after failing to reach a negotiation for a new contract with the University. Follow The Sun for updates.
Following months of negotiations between Cornell and the UAW, University workers will begin a strike that coincides with new student move-in after not agreeing on a new contract by their Sunday night deadline.
After the passage of a strike authorization vote on Thursday, hundreds of local leaders and members of UAW Local 2300 rallied around campus to support a contract negotiation for University workers.
