BU pulls free room and board for striking resident assistants
The college expects around 75 workers on strike to pay for their housing and meals for the length of the strike, which began on Saturday.
The strike began on Aug. 31 in protest of stalled contract negotiations over the resident assistants’ first union contract. A bargaining session ended Thursday with 12 articles about compensation and worker protections still unresolved.
