This year, Harvard's dining service, custodial, and security workers will be re-negotiating their contracts. Given that Harvard is one of the primary employers in greater Boston, it is responsible for the well-being of countless community members and residents. We believe that the university has an obligation to provide fair contracts that guarantee sustainable jobs.

We ask Harvard to comply with the following demands:

1. Harvard must pay a living wage with benefits to all its workers, whether directly employed or hired through outside firms.


2. Harvard must commit to creating more opportunities for full-time work, both during term-time and during the seasonal layoffs of summer and J-term.


3. We ask that Harvard honor both this commitment and our first two demands by increasing sustainable food practices in dining operations.


4. None of the gains in hours that are achieved through the first three demands should be offset by speed-ups.


5. Harvard must not lay off workers or reduce full-time positions when jobs are insourced or outsourced.


6. We believe that all workers have the right to a union, and Harvard and its subcontractors should firmly and proudly uphold this right by adopting card-check neutrality agreements.


7. Harvard must not discriminate against its employees, directly or indirectly, based on race, gender, age, sexual orientation, CORI, or immigration status. We demand that Harvard treat its workers with dignity and respect.
