ACADEMIC WORKERS ACROSS THE NATION ARE STRONGER TOGETHER & FIGHTING FOR MORE

This past week, nearly 48,000 academic workers across ten campuses in the University of California school system went on strike for salaries that match cost of living and more affordable childcare and housing, among other issues. This includes thousands of our colleagues at UAW 5810, the Postdoctoral and Academic Researchers at the University of California!

Meanwhile, here in New York, New School Adjunct Faculty (UAW Local 7902) have gone on strike demanding real raises, expanded health coverage, greater job security, and real recourse against harassment and discrimination — join their picket lines from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at 63 5th Avenue in front of the New School University Center!

Just this month, NYU Adjunct Faculty, also with Local 7902, reached a landmark victory in their new contract, winning major raises, expanded health care coverage, and a host of other benefits.

This is an exciting time to be part of a national movement of academic workers pushing for change in academia together through our collective power. In our own negotiations with Columbia, it will be critical that a strong majority of us are signed on as members.

We will discuss events around the Journalism and Law Schools as well as updates from our Bargaining Committee and Organizing Committee, as well as the monthly finance report.
