NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) Protesters have taken to the streets and are causing traffic delays Thursday morning, in support of graduate student-teachers who are fighting to start their own union at Yale.
The spokesperson for the protesters in Local 33 of Unite Here, CJ Macklin, tells News 8 that eight protesters will sit down while eight marshals (other protesters) will stand around them for protection, at the intersection of Chapel Street and College Street.
Macklin says that two of the protesters are former hunger strikers who say they have experienced sexual harassment, while another protester is a current hunger striker.
All protesters say they are prepared to be arrested.
Education doesn’t matter. They can put all the activism on their job applications and be guaranteed of high paying do nothing jobs.

A read I this as these are students, in a graduate degree program, who earn money from the university for teaching undergrads.
What leverage do these student teachers have, to form a union? They will quit? Should be lots of other students willing to take the gig. Unless the professors are too busy with their own self-absorbed existence to do the teaching.
