UVA Hunger Strike Ends After 13 Days, Students Claim ‘Enormous Victory’

Mar 01, 2012

The Living Wage Campaign at the University of Virginia announced Thursday they have ended their hunger strike that demanded school administrators pay all employees a living wage. School administration committed to audit contractors, examine the university’s labor practices, and to prioritize reviews for the lowest-paid employees.

"We have utter confidence that this action has laid the groundwork for an indexed living wage," a statement on the Living Wage Campaign’s website read.
