New York University’s Union Busting - It's Disgusting

with

Jenny Shaw - Graduate Research Assistant & Member GSOC/UAW Local 2110 Bargaining Comm.

Miabi Chatterji - Graduate Teaching Assistant & Member of the Organizing Committee of GSOC/UAW Local 2110

Prof. Gordon Lafer, Labor Education & Research Center, Univ. of Oregon

The 1,000 NYU teaching & research assistants, members of the Graduate Student Organizing Committee/UAW Local 2110, are walking picket lines instead of teaching & grading papers because the university has refused to negotiate a second contract,

rescinded recognition of their union and cut their health benefits. N.Y.U.'s change in policy to bust the union is bolstered by a recent ruling of the Bush appointed National Labor Relations Board. Over 500 faculty members are pledged to move classes off

campus & undergraduates have formed an organization to support the strike. Yet, NYU President Sexton is ignoring demands from faculty, students & community supporters to negotiate. Recently Faculty have been enraged by Administration surveillance and infiltration of an on line program used to facilitate communication between professors and their students.
