The Boston University Graduate Workers Union's strike, now over 150 days long, underscores the growing strength and activity of student unions in U.S. higher education.
Student worker bargaining units have increased by 54 percent from January 2022 to July 2023, indicating a significant rise in union activity among grad workers.
The BU grad students, who formed a union in December 2022, are still seeking their first contract after prolonged negotiations and a striking duration.
With fall classes starting Sept. 3, the BU strike could impede another semester if negotiations between the union and university do not conclude soon.
