On Thursday, April 11, workers at the Northampton Stop & Shop on King Street walked off the job as part of a union strike involving over 30,000 employees and spanning across Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. This strike comes after months of failed negotiation to reach a new contract between the union and company. Stop & Shop employees are represented by the larger United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) union. Many Stop & Shop stores across New England have been forced to close their doors due to a lack of working employees.

Ah, springtime, the season of new beginnings and rebirth. The days are lengthening, and the greenery is reemerging. Somewhere out there is a bear – the breakout star of an unfilmed David Attenborough documentary – lumbering out from her den after months of hibernation. The last traces of winter may not have disappeared just yet, but spring is definitely on its way.
On Thursday, April 11, the Students for Social Justice and Institutional Change (SSJIC) held a protest outside of John M. Greene Hall. This demonstration was held the day after Smith’s first Inclusion in Action conference, where sessions were held to discuss issues regarding diversity and inclusion.
A session about policing in a diverse community quickly turned into a protest calling for Daniel Hect, the new campus chief of police, to resign.
