Members of the Yale College Republicans hosted a barbecue Friday right next to where members of the Local 33 graduate student union participated in a hunger strike, the New Haven Register reports.
The College Republicans served a meal of barbecued beef, baked beans and corn to those on the plaza, just a few feet from the tent Local 33 had erected to house hunger strikers protesting the school’s decision not to negotiate a contract.
The union chapter said it wants the hunger strike to be a source of joy, and invited others to join in when one of their members got too hungry. “Instead of eating your lunch, sit with us and lift our spirits,” reads a flier Local 33 distributed on campus earlier this week. “When one of us cannot continue, come take our place.”
Local 33, the graduate student teachers’ union which is part of the international labor union UNITE HERE, is protesting the school’s decision not to negotiate a contract. Greenberg said the school is stalling until President Donald Trump appoints a new head of the National Labor Relations Board, someone who might be harsher to the union’s requests.
Greenberg said Yale President Peter Salovey, along with “top members of the Yale administration and members of the Yale Corporation are deciding to side with Donald Trump over members of their own community. I think that is unacceptable. I think that is despicable. They say we have to wait so we are waiting without eating.”

Lots do that every year.
We call it Lent.
The union chapter said it wants the hunger strike to be a source of joy...
Nothing says good times like a hunger strike.
“The union chapter said it wants the hunger strike to be a source of joy...”
Well, it’s certainly been a source of amusement so far.
They must all be majoring in math and science, where professorial grade retaliation is more difficult.
Do you understand the significance (and accuracy) of your casual comment? Due to the left’s weaponization of their office, Federal judges have become something to be derided. “Tis quite sad and it portends an ill wind.
“The College Republicans served a meal of barbecued beef, baked beans and corn”
Corn!? No vegetables! “Bar-b-que should be about one thing: good shared meat.”:

I remember the affirmative action bake sale.
They should be confined and forbidden to eat..just allowed to smell fine cooking aromas. After they starve to death then turn them loose.
Don’t tell me Republicans don’t have a sense of humor
The strikers are only going to eat when they get hungry. Really! That was their goal. LOLOL
I hope the Repub tent was upwind of the strikers.
I understand completely - that understanding prompted the quip. Federal Judges have been bastardizing the Law/Constitution for a long time and are now as rabid about it as the Progressive Left they adore.
