Twelve members of the Student Labor Action Project (SLAP) started a Hunger Strike on April 23rd demanding livable wage policies at University of Vermont. For the past two years, SLAP has been fighting for livable wages for all UVM staff and policies to ensure that all UVM contractors pay workers at least a livable wage. They have also been fighting fair employment policies to protect workers' right to organize and responsible contractor policies specifically for construction projects.
Here is link to TAKE ACTION:
