Harvard Reaches Tentative Agreement to End Cafeteria Workers’ Strike.
'Cafeteria workers at Harvard, who have been on strike for nearly three weeks in an effort to avoid an increase in their health care costs and to earn higher salaries, could return to work this week after a tentative agreement was reached with the university, a union president said.
Brian Lang, the president of Unite Here Local 26, which represents about 750 cafeteria workers, confirmed that terms had been reached early Tuesday morning that satisfied the workers’ demands.
Mediators helped work out the agreement between a union subcommittee and the university. On Tuesday, it would be reviewed and voted on by the full bargaining committee. It would then be brought before the entire union membership on Wednesday, and those on strike could return to work as soon as Thursday.
Mr. Lang said that he was confident the committee would ratify the agreement on Tuesday.
“We have accomplished all of the goals that we set out in this agreement,” he said in an interview.'>>>
