ROJAS | The Strike Disruption Was Necessary

It doesn’t matter how often Cornell says “thank you” to service workers and offers free pizza, ice cream or Bubbly. There is no amount of “thank you”s that can compensate for the need for a wage that reflects both the day-to-day tasks of a job and its “side effects.”

GUEST ROOM | The Cornell Community Stands with Striking UAW 2300 Workers
|
Dear Cornell Administration,
On Sunday, Aug. 18, Local 2300 of the United Auto Workers called a strike of full-time service and maintenance workers at Cornell. Cornell workers tried to avoid escalation through good-faith bargaining — but the greed and intransigence of the administration has left our full-time workers with no choice. Now, students, faculty, staff and the entire Cornell community are worse off because the administration refuses to work toward a fair contract. The UAW is asking for a 20 percent raise to establish a $24/hour living wage for all workers, a cost of living adjustment for their wages, no-cost parking and steps to address unsafe working conditions.
