NYU’s non-tenured faculty did not win by asking politely.
They organized for years, fought for a larger bargaining unit, built student and family support, and then nearly 1,000 workers walked off the job.
That strike helped win $14,000 minimum raises and stronger job security.
By withholding their labor earlier this year, non-tenured faculty at New York University won major gains—and helped create better learning conditions for their students.
