While BU may have directed faculty and staff not to discuss their opinions about the strike, we are aware of no law that prohibits them from doing so as long as they don’t: Discourage them through threats, intimidation, or retaliation,   Attempt to force graduate workers to disclose whether they are going on strike, or Negotiate private deals with workers that undercut or functionally replace the larger negotiations between the union and the employer (e.g., “We’ll raise your stipends by $10,000, just don’t strike our lab!”) We intend to continue communicating openly with all members of the campus community.
