US EditionNYU Faculty Go on Strike as Monday Deadline Passes without Deal
The strike involves about 950 contract faculty demanding a $120,000 wage floor and stronger job protections, impacting roughly 25% of NYU classes, union says.
- Contract Faculty United–UAW began striking at 11 a.m. Monday, with approximately 950 faculty picketing outside the John A. Paulson Building, 181 Mercer St., as staff walked off the job.
- After a 26-hour bargaining session, the union demanded a $120,000 floor, while NYU offered $90,000, with a three-hour deadline extension, Hogan said.
- About a quarter of NYU's classes are expected to be affected, with substitute instructors and administrators covering around 25% of sections for 60,000-plus NYU students.
- More than 1,600 students and alumni signed a solidarity letter, and Teamsters Local 804 urged members not to cross picket lines, while bargaining continued through the strike, union officials said.
- This would be the first contract since the faculty unionized in February 2024, with contract professors making up around half of NYU's full-time faculty and earning 36% less than tenured colleagues, the union said.
