According to the \u003ca href=\"https://housing.berkeley.edu/explore-housing-options/family-student-housing-university-village/\">university’s website\u003c/a>, residents at the Village pay between $2,090 for one-bedroom units and $3,455 for three-bedroom apartments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The households are refusing to pay the fee … to show the university that this is in fact a serious issue, and they can’t simply change the terms of their tenancy and start charging these new fees without coming to a fair agreement first,” said Brad Hirn, unit chair for UC Berkeley Academic Researchers at UAW Local 4811, a union representing graduate students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 450 households at the Village are members of the UAW 4811, according to Hirn.

According to the \u003ca href=\"https://housing.berkeley.edu/explore-housing-options/family-student-housing-university-village/\">university’s website\u003c/a>, residents at the Village pay between $2,090 for one-bedroom units and $3,455 for three-bedroom apartments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The households are refusing to pay the fee … to show the university that this is in fact a serious issue, and they can’t simply change the terms of their tenancy and start charging these new fees without coming to a fair agreement first,” said Brad Hirn, unit chair for UC Berkeley Academic Researchers at UAW Local 4811, a union representing graduate students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
