Graduate student workers at Boston University and teaching assistants at McGill University are on strike, demanding better wages and working conditions. The Boston University strike, supported by Senator Elizabeth Warren and SEIU509, began today, with thousands walking off the job in pursuit of a "fair contract." Similarly, 1,600 McGill teaching assistants are set to strike starting Monday over a salary dispute. These actions highlight ongoing concerns over fair treatment and adequate compensation in academic settings.

Today I joined @SEIU509 and @gradworkersofBU on the picket line in Boston. I stand in solidarity with them as they strike for better wages and working conditions. These workers, dedicated teachers, mentors and researchers, keep the university running & deserve a fair contract! https://t.co/wNswNegqWu
Shoutout to @SenWarren for standing with @gradworkersofBU on strike for a contract that guarantees fair wages and better working conditions! #BUGWUOnStrike https://t.co/BzFwvK9J1C
I was honored to host a roundtable discussion with @Labor_Caucus, @CWAUnion and call center workers from Maximus to hear about working conditions and their fight for fair treatment on the job. #UnionProud https://t.co/Nq59cEkCrc
