Yale's Capitalist Swine.

The article focuses on the workers' strike at Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut. It is reported that the 4000 strikers at the University, who provide for the maintenance of the university including clerical aid and library and dining-hall service are paid an average of $32,000 per year. The employees are getting, or are offered in the contract they rejected over the weekend raises which, cumulatively, would yield a 44 percent salary increase in five years. The employees and their families have free health care, to which they contribute no deduction from salary. Some professors have announced that they will not teach if in order to do so it is required that they cross a picket line. Representative Jesse Jackson several limes stressed that Yale has an endowment of $11 billion, so the university should double the employee wages.
