""A strike at NYU would seriously disrupt life for tens of thousands of New Yorkers who are students, employees, and members of the NYU community. We call on you to do everything in your power to return to the bargaining table and ensure a strike is averted and these workers receive the strong contract they deserve.""
""Noting that full-time non-tenure professors make about 36% less than their tenured colleagues, the union is seeking fair compensation, academic freedom and job security, faculty oversight over the use of artificial intelligence and greater support for faculty with families.""
""We hope that elected officials will be persuasive in letting our administrators know that what we're asking for is not unreasonable. We're really encouraged by the support we've had from public representatives and are hopeful they will remain visible and vocal in support of us if we have to go on a strike.""
Over 60 elected officials urged New York University leaders to negotiate a fair agreement with the union representing contract faculty to prevent a strike. Contract Faculty United-United Auto Workers, representing around 950 full-time non-tenure-track professors, voted to strike after prolonged negotiations. The letter emphasizes the potential disruption a strike would cause to the NYU community. The union seeks fair compensation, job security, and oversight on artificial intelligence use. Support from public representatives is seen as crucial for achieving their demands.
