UC Berkeley owes student workers more than $5M in back pay, arbitrator rules.

Iyengar said UAW 2865’s contract mandates that students can't “pay to work,” meaning students working for the university in a significant capacity shouldn't have to pay their own tuition, because then they would essentially be funding their own salary. The ruling, she said, upholds this right.

“This ruling held that the [Berkeley] administration was deliberately reducing the number of hours of teaching assistants and graduate student instructors in order to evade paying the fee remission,” Kent Wong, director of the UCLA Labor Center, said. As graduate student organizing increases, so too has undergraduate organizing. Saddled with debt and working everywhere from the library to dining halls to classrooms, undergraduates are playing a more crucial role in university operations — and standing up for their rights in the process, he said.
