Students and other members of the UC Berkeley community rallied alongside campus service workers on Sproul Plaza Thursday afternoon demanding that the campus rehire workers who will be laid off in November.

A group of about 50 protesters rallied at the intersection of Telegraph Avenue and Bancroft Way, criticizing the campus for plans to lay off the service workers and demanding that the UC support a state Senate bill that would allow graduate student researchers to unionize.
