One transit union is suing Columbia University over its response to the violent takeover of Hamilton Hall last month, arguing some of its workers were endangered during the unrest.
The union representing the custodians who were caught in the middle of the anti-Israel building takeover at Columbia University last month is taking legal action over the school's handling of the violent demonstrations. Transport Workers Union sued Columbia University for failing to protect some of its workers amid protesters' violent takeover of Hamilton Hall on April 30.
The major escalation came hours after Columbia University administrators began suspending students who failed to leave their encampment. 'They held me hostage,' one worker who was in the building said after he was allowed to leave, according to the student newspaper Columbia Spectator. The worker exited the building at around 12:40 a.m., per the publication. 'Everybody in the building, the entire TW workforce in the building was fearful, and rightfully so,' Samuelsen said.
