Notre Dame Hunger Strike

Today, Notre Dame students are ending a five-day hunger strike with a rally and mass calling on the university to take concrete action against HEI Hotels and Resorts, a company in which the university is invested. Since fall of 2008, students have raised concerns about the unethical labor practices of HEI by leafleting, protesting, meeting with administrators and organizing teach-ins on campus with HEI hotel workers who are leading the struggle for justice at their workplace.

Walk With Workers, April 29th

Thursday, April 29th, 4:00 pm
Massachusetts Hall

Join other students, faculty, and workers next Thursday to honor the working members of Harvard's community, during what is still a trying time for Harvard's employees. We will walk together through the yard, stopping at intervals to recognize labor at sites of its operation—Harvard's buildings—performing a Bread and Roses ceremony, and hearing from campus voices, all to make visible a binding force in our community: workers.
