On Wednesday, February 22nd, we delivered a petition signed by a clear majority of the contract faculty whose work makes NYU work. We told Andy Hamilton and the rest of the administration that we expect them to commit publicly to remaining neutral, to refrain from any effort to influence faculty against unionization, so we can come to an agreement for a fair and expeditious process to verify majority union support.
To keep the process of unionization moving forward, we asked the president and board of NYU to respond within the week. On Wednesday, March 1st, we'll come together with students, colleagues, and friends from across NYU to celebrate our majority support and call on the NYU administration to agree to a fair process for recognition of our union.
