"Our members have said they are tired of waiting for the administration to bargain fairly and settle the strong first contract we need and deserve, said Benedetta Piantella, industry associate professor in the NYU Tandon School of Engineering and a member of the union's bargaining committee."
"With 90% voting yes in our strike authorization vote, the administration knows that they have until Monday, March 23, to come through, Piantella said. In a sliver of hope, the union said there was some action from the administration last week, but added it was not enough to avert a strike."
"They are still refusing to address salary compression, overwork, they are trying to end peer review for reappointment and promotion, and to curtail our participation in the shared governance of our departments and schools, said Elisabeth Fay, clinical associate pro"
Contract Faculty United-UAW, representing NYU's full-time non-tenure track faculty, announced a strike deadline of March 23 following unsuccessful contract negotiations. The union has conducted 26 bargaining sessions since its formation in 2024. Members voted 90% in favor of authorizing a strike, with 657 of 694 ballots cast supporting action. Key demands include fair compensation, job security, academic freedom protections, AI policy provisions, and workload standards for language courses. During the latest five-hour bargaining session, the union presented six proposals while administration presented nine. Union representatives stated that while some administrative action occurred recently, it remains insufficient to prevent the strike, as management continues refusing to address salary compression, overwork concerns, and peer review processes.
