On Thursday, dozens of academic student workers at San Francisco State University bundled up and marched across campus, demanding higher wages, paid sick leave and stronger protections for international employees.

The demonstration, organized by the United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America chapter 4123, representing over 10,000 student workers at SFSU, began at 1 p.m. in Malcolm X Plaza. Organizers made impassioned speeches through megaphones while demonstrators held handmade signs. The energized protest was loud with chants about workers’ dissatisfaction with the California State University administration. The march drew attention from students but remained peaceful as marchers proceeded to the Administration Building, where organizers presented more than 2,600 petition signatures.

Sam Silva, a graduate teaching associate at SFSU and one of the event’s organizers, said student workers are becoming frustrated by stalled negotiations and administrative decisions they see as dismissive of their contributions. Silva led chants about a stalling administration during the march.

“We’re the ones in the classrooms and labs making the learning experience happen,” Silva said. “We deserve to be recognized and compensated fairly.”
