A group of Yale University graduate students are engaged in a “symbolic” hunger strike — rumbling stomachs may be filled with food — for better benefits.
Student union Local 33 began a “collective fast” in front of University President Peter Salovey’s home on Tuesday. News of their efforts for collective bargaining reached CNN’s Jake Tapper on Thursday when a former student shared a pamphlet given to participants.
“Update: the Yale grad student union is holding a *symbolic* hunger strike (they eat when hungry) Still inspirational,” Dimitri Halikias of Brookings’ Center for Children and Families tweeted on Wednesday.
“Yeah that’s not really how hunger strikes work,” responded Politico Editor in Chief Blake Hounshell.
“I eat when I’m hungry too but I don’t call it a hunger strike,” wrote Mr. Tapper.

These people should all be tased.
Then kicked hard in the ass.

Student Benefits my ass.
Just regular commie Flakes.
Bring in a BBQ food truck and just cook and let the smells waft over the hunger strikers. Then, don’t sell, or give, them anything!
Their parents certainly wasted a lot of money getting those idiots “educated”. And there you have the end product put out by most of the “institutes of higher learning”, their called idiots.
Why don’t they go fix New Haven instead?
AT least these kids are not black shirted terrorists.
Yale grad students begin ‘symbolic’ hunger strike for benefits (eat only when hungry)
I’ve been on a hunger strike my whole life and didn’t even know it!
It sounds more like a Jane Fonda Diet Plan.
“Future leadership of the Democrat Party”
Yes indeed, more proof that Democrat Socialist Snowflakes are educated far beyond their intelligence.
It is discouraging.
I was looking for a place to have a BIG tailgate Bar B Que...I think I found it!!!
They should get participation trophies.
C.W.
A student’s union?
Offer free food for the “sell-outs”. THAT would be fun to watch!
But this... this actually made me laugh out loud. This is prize-winning stupidity.
[“collective fast”]
“It takes a village” mentality.
Symbolic???? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!! What a bunch of childish pu$$ies!! It’s time to grow up, junior.
It’s actually a starvation strike.
