"Contract Faculty United-UAW (CFU-UAW) said it would open the strike voting on Feb. 9, with balloting continuing through Feb. 20. The union represents close to 950 full-time professors on track for tenure and librarians across 12 New York University (NYU) schools, accounting for roughly half of the higher-education facility's full-time faculty. The union's demands focus on compensation, job security, academic freedom, AI and workload."
"She said school leadership has been claiming recently that it is eager to come to an agreement with the union. Going into Friday's session, we were hopeful that the administration would make real progress on compensation and retirement, agree to protect and defend our non-citizen colleagues, and guarantee that faculty will retain a shared role in academic decision making at the university, especially in appointment, reappointment, and promotion decisions, Piantell said. Unfortunately, we were wrong."
Contract Faculty United-UAW will open strike-authorization balloting from Feb. 9 through Feb. 20 after contract negotiations with NYU stalled. The union represents about 950 full-time contract professors and librarians across 12 NYU schools, roughly half of the university’s full-time faculty. Key demands include improved compensation to address salary compression and city cost-of-living inequities, stronger job security, protections for non-citizen colleagues, preserved faculty roles in academic decision-making, academic freedom, AI policies, and workload limits. Bargaining has reached 23 sessions without agreement, and union members say current wages lag behind tenured colleagues.
