NYU Strike: Speak up for the right to unionize!

From:

Liberty Tree Democratizing Education Program

What's happening:

At issue is the right of campus workers to organize a labor union.  Graduate workers at New York University (NYU) are entering their second month on strike.  NYU management refuses to recognize, much less negotiate with, the union - the Graduate Student Organizing Committee (GSOC). 



What you can do:

Write to NYU President John Sexton at john.sexton@nyu.edu and tell him you support the GSOC, and that you expect him to enter negotiations with the union. Make sure you cc: a copy to Martin Lipton, the chair of NYU's Board of Trustees, at MLipton@wlrk.com and to the provost David McLaughlin at david.mclaughlin@nyu.edu.  Please also send Liberty Tree a copy of your message so we can pass it on to the strikers.

No great idea in its beginning can ever be within the law. How can it be within the law? The law is stationary. The law is fixed. The law is a chariot wheel which binds us all regardless of conditions or place or time.
