Peckish Pubescent Protesters Pack It In

Fancypants College Students End Brief Hunger Strike, Get Back To Being Rich And Well-Fed

The hunger strike, which began last weekend, went on for about a week. The students involved ended the stunt out of concerns for their own health, reports The Boston Globe.

The custodians remain laid off.

The slouchy, overwhelmingly white supporters of the Tufts Labor Coalition vowed to carry on with their labor protest efforts despite failing to bring about any change whatsoever. One student striker, Zoe Jeka quit her hunger strike on Friday when her blood pressure dropped. “This is a long-term fight, fighting the exploitation of workers,” Jeka told the Globe. “We wish we didn’t have to stop, but we wish we didn’t have to start in the first place.”

In a statement, the Service Employees International Union, the janitors’ union, thanked the student hunger strikers for not eating for a week to accomplish nothing.


The northeastern blue-blooded children of privilege are protesting "exploitation of workers" represented by the most predatory union in human history. I think there may be a 'splosion of irony.
