...insurance. The deal has yet to be ratified by the union, which has more than 440,000 members throughout North America. But Evan Paster, the leader of the union’s local chapter, announced yesterday’s breakthrough in glowing terms. “In a marathon session yesterday, Local 26 Dining Hall Workers won the best contract in the history of our union at Harvard University!” he wrote. Amanda L. Shapiro ’08, a leader of Student Labor Action Movement (SLAM), which collected over 1,300 signatures last month in a campaign...
