Union representatives, elected officials and labor activists joined Boston University custodians Thursday afternoon to demand better wages and benefits as compensation for the custodial staff’s uninterrupted work throughout the coronavirus pandemic.

Dozens of Massachusetts Institute of Technology custodians, carpenters, tradespeople and their supporters rallied on the university’s campus last Wednesday, calling for a new contract in the wake of pandemic-induced economic hardship facing workers across the country.
