for the third day Wednesday, with crowds gathering near all three campuses for eight hours of picketing as union leaders said negotiations will likely take a long time.
The drag queen who led the demonstration, named “Elizabeth, New Jersey” wore a blue wig and American flag themed dress. “These are tough issues, and it’s exhausting work, but we’ve made more progress in these two days than we have in many months,” said Rutgers AAUP-AFT President Rebecca Givan. “That’s a testament to Governor Murphy’s influence in overcoming the resistance of the administration to some of our core demands.
“The march from Cook campus, where I was, took us through the streets of downtown New Brunswick,” said Rutgers Adjunct Faculty Union President Amy Higer said. “It was an inspiring moment, and that’s especially due to the excitement and passion of our students and our supporters in the communities around our campuses. They know that our fight is their fight, too. Our proposals aren’t just about wages; they are about fighting for all the vulnerable.
And why was a drag show necessary? Just cause it’s a Wednesday?
