The New School students occupy cafeteria over mass layoff threat to unionized workers - Rajvi Desai, AM NY

After 45 food service workers at The New School received a notice that they were going to be laid off, hundreds of students took over the university cafeteria. Four days later, they are still there. Members of the Unite Here! Local 100 union asked students to rally for them in a meeting on April 27, after an announcement made by The New School administration to replace cafeteria workers with non-union employees sparked anger within the school community. https://www.amny.com/news/new-school-cafeteria-protest-1.18391815
