I interviewed Prof. Remes, a leader in the union affiliated with @uaw.org which recently won HUGE raises and job security after organizing and going on strike this spring. Shows the way for other academic workers @higheredlabor.bsky.social @aflcio.org @lawcha.bsky.social
Nearly 1,000 non-tenured faculty at NYU walked off the job for two days this spring.
Peter Cole reports that they returned with a strong first contract: minimum $14,000 raises, annual increases and long-term employment guarantees.
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.
