Nov. 30: A Day of Action in Support of NYU's TA Union

Nov. 30, A day of action

Noon
Undergrad Rally and Speak Out in Washington Square Park - A group of delegates will then present an open letter to Pres. Sexton demanding that he negotiate.

1:00pm
a free lunch on the Picket Line with GSOC

2:00pm
an Indoor Event with Speakers and Entertainment.

NYU undergraduates will not attend classes so that they can gather to demand that Pres. Sexton end the strike by negotiating with GSOC. Grad/Undergrad Solidarity, a group of undergraduates that formed in Spring of 2004 to support GSOC in their fight for a second contract, is calling for a day of action to demonstrate to the Sexton administration that it is imperative that they end the strike now by agreeing to re-open negotiations.

This will be a huge event that sends a strong message to Sexton.
Negotiations with the union are in the best interest of the entire university community! They'll end the strike and create a more stable educational environment.

Improved working conditions for TAs mean that learning conditions will improve. The TAs who grade papers, hold office hours, and lead recitations will have more time to spend helping students get the education they have paid for and deserve.

To let the administration know that students want their high tuition to be spent on their education and on the healthcare and training of those
who provide it! For more information nyuinc.org/negotiate-now
