Harvard, the richest university in the world, is no exception. While its endowments have tripled in the last fifteen years, it has outsourced jobs, slashed wages and benefits for its lowest paid workers, and resisted efforts to unionize. Appalled at Harvard's practices, the students galvanized into action. They proposed a Living Wage Programme, which Harvard refused to consider. After three years of peaceful protests the students occupied Masachusetts Hall, site of the President's office. Soon a "tent city" sprang up on campus as other students joined the campaign. Gradually the workers joined the protest, no longer afraid to lose their jobs. With the threat of wildcat strikes and civil disobedience growing, the administration was forced to negotiate. The President accepted unprecedented wage increases and established a committee to review labor policies. Consuelo, a janitor, says "Those kids are unbelievable. They are my inspiration, my heroes.". 001356242 521__ $$aFor College; Adult audiences. 001356242 530__ $$aPreviously released as DVD. 001356242 546__ $$aThis edition in English. 001356242 61020 $$aHarvard University$$xEmployees$$xSalaries, etc. 001356242 650_0 $$aCost and standard of living$$zMassachusetts$$zCambridge. 001356242 650_0 $$aLiving wage movement$$zMassachusetts$$zCambridge. 001356242 650_0 $$aWages$$zMassachusetts$$zCambridge. 001356242 655_7 $$aDocumentary films.$$2lcgft 001356242 7001_ $$aValez, Pacho. 001356242 85640 $$uhttp://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?BUSV;1652560 001356242 901__ $$aASP1652560/busv$$bVaAlASP$$c18436$$tbiblio 001356242 905__ $$uadmin 001356242 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1356242$$pGLOBAL_SET 001356242 944__ $$a1785221 001356242 945__ $$aThe Whole World 001356242 980__ $$aSTREAMING 001356242 980__ $$aBIB 001356242 982__ $$aStreaming Video 001356242 983__ $$aOnline
