This bonus is a welcome reprieve during a time of record-high inflation in which we are facing skyrocketing costs in all aspects of our lives, from groceries and rent to childcare and healthcare.

Times are tough for all of us. More work keeps falling onto our plates, while it costs more just to put food on our tables. In September, inflation was 8.2%, meaning that a salary of $50,000 is worth $4,100 less than it was last year.

We are calling on MIT leadership to use central resources to grant an across-the-board cost of living raise of 6% for all employees (as opposed to merit-based) to begin to address the financial hardship we face and show us that MIT values our contributions to the Institute.

MIT's administration continues to chase profits rather than devoting its immense resources to supporting the well-being of the people that keep MIT functioning. But workers are fighting back.
