"While we shoulder so much of the university's core work, decisions about our jobs and working conditions have long been made without us; and do not reflect the immense value we bring."
"Despite bargaining throughout the weekend to reach a fair contract - and even giving the administration a three-hour extension - the NYU administration made an offer at 9:57. While these new proposals made some promising movement on some issues, they are not yet enough on core issues like compensation, especially decompression."
Nearly 1,000 non-tenure NYU professors and staff initiated a strike, advocating for fair contracts and improved working conditions. They teach a significant portion of the university's classes but feel excluded from decisions affecting their roles. Despite NYU's proposal of a nearly $10,000 pay increase, the union deemed it insufficient, particularly regarding core issues like compensation and housing benefits. The strike encompasses various academic disciplines, highlighting the professors' demands for better support for their careers and families.
