Harvard graduate student union strikes as negotiations hit a wall
Graduate student workers at Harvard University went on strike due to stalled contract negotiations, demanding better wages and working conditions. The strike, involving over 4,000 student workers, is the third in the union's history since its formation in 2018.
Graduate student workers at Harvard University have gone on strike, halting teaching, grading, and laboratory research. The strike follows 15 months of contract negotiations, with wages and working conditions being the main points of contention. The Harvard Graduate Student Union represents over 4,000 student workers and has been picketing at Harvard's main campus and Harvard Medical School. Key issues include wage increases, protections for non-citizen students, and academic freedom protections. The previous contract expired in June 2025, leaving graduate student workers without access to certain benefits. The next bargaining session is scheduled for April 28.
