Implementation of the BUGWU, SEIU Local 509 Collective Bargaining Agreement

The BU Graduate Student Workers Union (BUGWU, SEIU Local 509) and Boston University now have a three-year collective bargaining agreement (CBA) after BUGWU members ratified the CBA on October 16, 2024. The University is committed to fulfilling this important agreement and enhancing the experience of our students.

This website provides archived negotiation updates and information on progress toward contract implementation and seeks to help clarify the contract and its impact on our community. We will make continuous updates throughout the fall and spring.
