Wolfson explained the strike as a culmination of frustration with how bureaucrats and business-minded approaches have overtaken higher education and emphasized the need for unity among workers to advocate for better conditions. "Let's make sure that the folks in Winants Hall in their little fancy spot over there can hear us, OK?" he called to a cheering crowd, highlighting the divide between university administration and the academic staff's needs.
In the midst of negotiations, Wolfson reflected on the challenge of uniting different unions for the strike: "We couldn't do that-we were three unions, and we brought a team of 20." He acknowledged the difficulty but also the importance of solidarity, denoting that it was a necessary representation of the collective strength and the relentless commitment to advocating for fair treatment and contracts.
