AFSCME Local 3299 began its first day in a three-day-long strike Monday morning, as over 200 workers and student supporters gathered around UC Santa Barbara’s Storke Tower to protest low wages.

So, are you OK with higher tuition to pay for the pay raises?
Interesting how there is always virtually unlimited money available for war and corporate bailouts, but not for paying working people what they need and deserve.
I’ll gladly pay higher tuition to help keep the place clean. What’s the alternative, a messy campus? Give them what they deserve to be able to live.
