Graduate employees at New York University have gone on strike to protest NYU’s refusal to recognize their union and bargain a new contract.

NYU administrators are taking advantage of a partisan National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) decision to deny its graduate employees their basic right to have a union and bargain collectively. The Bush-appointed NLRB denied tens of thousands of graduate employees at private universities important federal protections for forming unions and bargaining, overturning precedent and mistreating graduate employees—full-fledged workers who deserve full-fledged rights.

Over the past three years, NYU graduate employees and their union, Graduate Student Organizing Committee/UAW Local 2110, negotiated important improvements for campus workers, including a dramatic raise in stipends, health care benefits and overtime pay.

Don’t let NYU administrators take away their union and their rights. Take action now and tell NYU to honor graduate employees’ decision to form a union and to get back to the bargaining table now.
