Reply to comment by Mercurydriver in After nearly 250 days working without a contract, rank-and-file members of the Rutgers University faculty and staff unions are set to start voting Tuesday on whether to authorize a strike: The two unions have been negotiatingwith Rutgers since their contract expired in May 2022 by rollotomasi07071

I've been keeping up with labor news through a lot of the leftist podcasts I listen to. Some of the things these workers have to ask for will leave you dumbfounded like proper grievance procedures and healthcare benefits. These are full-time employees of businesses that make millions of dollars a year asking for a functional workplace and a wage that would keep them from being homeless. It's infuriating.
