What does it take to organize across class lines? In the context of a nationwide revival of both labor struggles and student movements, students and workers at college campuses are increasingly having to find out. At Columbia University, students recently started to back a group of Faculty House workers who are fighting for a new contract. But what does solidarity mean at a university where students pay up to $60,000 a year, while campus workers can barely make ends meet? We hear from Osmond Cousin, who has been working as a chef at Columbia for the past 18 years, as well as Jane Brennan, an anthropology student who is one of the main organizers of the student-worker solidarity group. Cousin and Brennan share insights into how both groups have been building alliances in order to increase pressure on the university.
Columbia has a Venture Cartography Lab – bet all that money is internationally sucked into corporate holdings.
Hi, I am new to blogging and websites in general and was wanting to know how you got the “www” included in
your web address name? I see your domain, “http://dev2.wagingnonviolence.org/feature/cross-class-coalition-at-columbia-university/” has the www and my web address looks
like, “http://mydomain.com”. Do you know exactly how I can alter this?
