Boston University Graduate Workers Union (BUGWU)

I served as a union representative and elected bargaining team member for the Boston University Graduate Workers Union (BUGWU) from 2022-2024. I am proud to advocate for graduate students earning a living wage, an essential component to ensuring equity and diversity in higher education. BUGWU workers struck from March 25 - October 17, 2024 to secure our first union contract. You can learn more about our contract here: https://bugwu.org/
