In today’s News and Commentary, Rutgers University academic workers’ strike continues into its third day, Rhode Island School of Design teamsters strike reached its ninth, and the Union of Southern Service Workers alleges discrimination by South Carolina state agency in workplace inspections.
Three unions, including the Rutgers AAUP-AFT full-time faculty, graduate workers, postdoctoral associates; the Rutgers PTLFC-AAUP-AFT part-time lecturers; and AAUP-BHSNJ health sciences school workers, continue their strike on Rutgers’ campus into its third day.

Workers since Monday have halted all work activity other than essential medical care and research.
