Located on the outskirts of downtown Los Angeles, Historic Filipinotown, or HiFi, became one of the five Asian Pacific Islander ethnic neighborhoods in Los Angeles with its designation of a historic cultural neighborhood in 2002. Since then, various pieces of art showcasing Filipino culture have been added to the area, the most recent being a 30-foot-tall gateway over the neighborhood’s eastern entrance.

Academic student workers and graduate student researchers represented by the United Auto Workers union recently ended a nearly six-week strike in which they called for better working conditions and equitable wages. The contract stipulates pay increases for all workers – for some, pay increases of up to 80% – as well as anti-harassment policies and increased childcare support. However, the negotiations have struck controversy among some UAW members dissatisfied with the results of the contract. What are your thoughts on this issue? Only the voices of the bargaining team were heard during the negotiation process – the contract is not all-encompassing of student workers and should not have been ratified. The mediation resulted in a realistic contract for academic workers at this time. The agreed-upon result generally covered what the strikers were asking for. I have feelings about this that are not described in the options above. The contract is neither good nor bad and/or this issue does not directly affect me as a student.
