Boston College's Graduate Employees demand support from the administration during a period where they are being kept from or are unable to work without risking their own health.

The BCGEU-UAW press release also announced the launch of public awareness campaign "Reform Boston College."

The revised policy now guarantees that doctoral students who teach courses also receive coverage of medical insurance premiums.

Graduate unions from BC and four other universities delivered letters to their presidents on Wednesday, calling on them to recognize the unions' rights to collective bargaining.

The only way to shift the balance of power and provide dignity for graduate workers is to encourage collective bargaining at all universities.
