Columbia University threatens graduate workers with replacement if they continue strike
The students are striking over better pay, healthcare and third-party arbitration for harassment and discrimination complaints
About 3,000 graduate workers at Columbia University in New York City, who have been on strike since 3 November, recently received an email from the university human resources department threatening the workers with replacement if they continue striking.
The strike is the largest active strike in the US.
The email, sent on 2 December by Columbia University human resources vice-president Dave Driscoll, informed workers their positions would be replaced if they continue striking past 10 December.
