Student Worker Action Group (SWAG) is an organization formed by UC Berkeley student food services workers. This week it is holding a series of public events to bring attention the fact that Cal students working for Cal Dining are paid over $2 less per hour than their coworkers (starting wages are $9.11/hr and $11.25/hr), and to call for pay equity at UC Berkeley.
