The TA's Voice

In 1970 the Teachers Assistant Association went on strike on the UW campus. According to the TAA-Madison website the UW had refused to move on issues critical to the TAs. The TAs went on strike, and four weeks later won most of their demands.

At the UWDC we have a project focusing on these strikes.

Campus Voices is a project meant to capture, present, and preserve some of the strongest historical stories and memories of UW-Madison, through the people who lived them. The project’s first album focuses on the 1970 Teaching Assistants Association strike, in commemoration of its 40th anniversary.

The interviews are available to listen to and the transcripts are also included.

Take a look at what the TAs had to say.
