Harvard dining hall workers represented by UNITE HERE Local 26 are on strike. They say the strike will continue until they get a fair agreement.

The workers want to be paid at least $35,000 a year and affordable health care. The striking workers have widespread student support. Harvard Medical School students , graduate students at Harvard Law School, Harvard Divinity School, and Harvard School of Public Health have all pledged support.

The workers met 19 times to bargain with Harvard's administration before striking.
