A union representing custodians at Columbia University is considering legal action against the Ivy League school for its handling of recent anti-Israel protests on campus. The union alleges that its members were targeted by protesters who took over a campus building, causing fear and distress among the workers.
The TWU International President, John Samuelsen, expressed outrage at Columbia University for failing to protect the custodians during the occupation of Hamilton Hall. Samuelsen described the protesters as 'spoiled' and 'bratty,' accusing them of preventing custodians from leaving the building and disregarding their safety.
