The protestors were there to oppose major cuts made by Brandeis this semester, particularly to the hours of dining workers. Approximately 50 people, mostly students, attended the protest, which lasted for around 45 minutes. Protestors held up banners with slogans including “Stop the Cuts,” “Student Power = Worker Power,” and “Long Live The Workers.” Flyers advertising the protest were distributed across campus in the weeks leading up to the event. One flyer states that “Brandeis students and workers are both being screwed over by the university from the recent cuts. For workers, things keep getting more expensive, and the pay stays the same and the hours go down. For students, our tuition keeps going up, and we keep getting less. Our struggles are one, and so should our fight!
