thank you!! I am new to this school, and was shocked to see the popular support already existing. Comrades here have been struggling for a long time. I am disgusted by the 400k salary of our administrator while international student workers have had to choose between doctor visits and daycare. Leaders of the movement seem to avoid discussing personal beliefs, but I am curious whether they have long supported worker organization or merely were brought to this in desperation from the pay cuts and layoffs resulting from COVID-19. Students on international visa are prohibited from non-school work and with pay cuts or layoff may be forced into poverty. This is horrible, because remember, these are not lazy people by any means. Graduate student workers are some of the hardest working people I have met: my colleagues are studying, researching, instructing courses, grading exams/lab reports, and many have children at home.
