"We want to be clear. Our bargaining committee did not win this strong agreement. All union members did, by standing together, Brendan Hogan, Ph.D., a clinical professor in liberal studies at NYU, said in a statement."
"We won in the last four days more than what the administration had agreed to in the previous 17 months. He also stressed that organizing as a union helped workers secure solid benefits."
"As the chant goes, we had the power - union power."
"The tentative agreement includes a minimum of $2,500 annual professional development funding for each unionized full-time contract faculty member, professional development leaves, and health and welfare benefits identical to those currently offered to all full-time faculty and admin."
Nearly 1,000 full-time non-tenure-track faculty at NYU returned to work after a two-day strike and 17 months of negotiations, reaching a tentative contract agreement. The agreement guarantees that 95% of union members will earn over $100,000 starting in September, with no member earning less than $91,000. Each member will receive a minimum raise of $14,000. The agreement is noted for having the highest minimum salaries for unionized contract faculty in the nation, along with professional development funding and health benefits.
