A New York University faculty union<\/a> went on strike Monday for raises and job security, while classes were scheduled to continue.<\/p>\n

The strike impacts about half of NYU\u2019s full-time faculty members, who are represented by Contract Faculty United-UAW. The professors, known as \u201ccontract faculty,\u201d are not on a track to earn tenure.<\/p>\n

In raw numbers, that\u2019s nearly 1,000 NYU professors. It does not include full-time tenure-track faculty, adjunct faculty, or graduate student workers who are represented by other unions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are fighting for stronger job security, support for our careers and families, reasonable workloads, full participation in governance and academic decision-making, academic freedom protections, and fair compensation that reflects our contributions and years of service to NYU,\u201d CFU-UAW said in a Feb. 28 statement<\/a> announcing their intent to strike.<\/p>\n

In February, members voted 90% in favor of authorizing a strike, with 75% of the unit participating, according to the union.<\/p>\n

The strike started at 11 a.m. Monday after a temporary extension. Faculty members picketed outside NYU\u2019s Paulson Center in the Greenwich Village and expect to be on the picket line every day this week<\/a>, according to a union schedule.<\/p>\n

NYU spokesperson Wiley Norvell said the school administration had presented a \u201cgenerous and comprehensive package,\u201d including the highest minimum salaries of any unionized contract faculty in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are committed to maintaining our students\u2019 academic progress during this strike. Substitute instructors and\/or alternative plans are in place for every section affected,\u201d read the statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A New York University faculty union went on strike Monday for raises and job security, while classes were…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":172800,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[67,85,267,75,84,83,9,24,264,12,63],"class_list":["post-172799","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-education","tag-latest-headlines","tag-local-news","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-county","tag-news","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172799","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=172799"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172799\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/172800"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=172799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=172799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=172799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
