Robert ReichLabor costs increased 5.3% over the past year. But prices rose 7.1%.
The real purchasing power of American workers continues to drop.

On The Public Good And Orders-Of-Magnitude Conundrum In US Higher Education
Public universities often have been called an essential public good. Indeed, they were established to provide a higher education that was geographically accessible, practical, and affordable. But there has been a shift in recent years in both costs and state support for public higher education.

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayA decision to #strike among the less-well paid is never taken lightly (due to the loss of pay in the short term) & during this #winterofdiscontent we should all recognise the strikers have been backed into a corner & are saying #EnoughIsEnough!

Solidarity with the UC workers who are in their fourth week of the biggest strike in US higher education history. Let me remind you: absent the workers in a university, there's nothing. Workers not only deserve better wages & benefits, the quality of a UC education depends on it.
