Two weeks before professors were set to administer final exams last month at the University of Illinois, Chicago (UIC), 1500 graduate teaching assistants went on strike to demand a wage increase. Union representatives had been at the bargaining table with the university for a year, since April 2021, trying to negotiate a new contract after their previous one expired. But the two sides hadn’t been able to reach an agreement. “The raises that they were offering at that point where far less than inflation,” says UIC mathematics Ph.D. student Matt DeVilbiss, a member of UIC’s graduate workers union who helped coordinate picketing during the strike. “As inflation got worse, it became more important.”

It looks like that there is a typo in the phrae "The raises that they were offering at that point where far less than inflation", in which "where" should have been "were"?
