More than 6,000 University of Washington students who work in the school’s research labs are now on strike, demanding equal pay for equal work.Because they work at many UW facilities throughout the city of Seattle , they’ve got many picket lines set up at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, South Lake Union on Mercer Street, and others.
UW said it has held 17 bargaining sessions, including with a mediator, and the school values the work of academic student employees and is working to continue good-faith negotiations. "The University increased its proposal to 12%, 8%, and 8% pay increases in each year of the contract," university spokesperson Victor Balta told KOMO News in an email. He said the union is asking for 12% each of the three years of a new contract.
