The 2024 Boston University strike is an ongoing labor strike in Boston, Massachusetts by graduate student workers at Boston University. The strike began on March 25, 2024, and was organized by the Boston University Graduate Workers United labor union in affiliation with Service Employees International Union Local 509.
Background
Unionization Efforts
In 1979, Boston University had experienced seen a strike as a result of backlash over policies by the university's president John Silber.[1] The union behind this strike, the Boston University - American Association of University Professors, would find themselves decertified following a ruling NLRB v. Yeshiva University stating that university professors were not protected under the National Labor Relations Act of 1935.[2] The university would not see another major strike until 45 years later following a 2016 National Labor Relations Board decision that allowed graduate students to unionize.[3]
The university's graduate workers had began organizing efforts in late 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in an effort to implement a safer workplace. Graduate workers would then vote to affiliate with Service Employees International Union Local 509 in mid-2021, which also represents adjunct professors, lecturers, and residential advisors.[4] They would then begin successful a public campaign of union authorization forms beginning September 2022 for improvements in wages, workload protections, health care and coverage, international student support, and housing, voting 1,414 to 28 in December 2022 in favor of unionization, forming the Boston University Graduate Workers Union (BUGWU).[5][6]
Contract negotiations
BUGWU would seek negotiations with Boston University's negotiation team starting in July 2023, holding at least one session a month.[7] The first meeting would see two articles proposed, with the total number since expanding to 38, of with four have been rejected and six reaching a tentative agreement as of April 2024.[8]
