In the past year, a wave of strikes has rocked universities from the University of California system on the West Coast to Temple University in Philadelphia and The New School in New York City. In all, there were 15 strikes by academic workers in 2022, and this trend has continued into 2023. In several cases, it is precarious workers such as adjunct faculty and graduate students who have been on the front lines and who have struck with the support of full-time faculty.
