Victory at Georgetown:

A hunger strike at Georgetown University over wages for some school employees reportedly has ended. W-R-C T-V says the students ended their hunger strike late last night after the school offered higher wages and more benefits for contract workers, mostly janitors, food-service employees and security personnel. More than 20 students had survived on just water and juice since the strike began March 15th. The university sent an all-student e-mail last night detailing plans to increase wages and the students accepted the plan. One student says she's proud Georgetown did the right thing. The school says it wants to make a "significant difference" in the lives of its workers. These contract workers now earn $11.33 an hour. The plan calls for them to earn $13 an hour by July first, with a raise to $14 by July 2007.
