What
is GSOC/UAW Local 2110?
GSOC
is the union for teaching, research and graduate assistants at
New York University. As the chosen representative of the majority
of NYU graduate employees, GSOC/UAW (the Graduate Student Organizing
Committee) is committed to restoring collective bargaining rights
to our membership and forcing NYU to recognize our union once
again.
In
2002, GSOC/UAW Local 2110 became the first union representing
teaching and research assistants at a private university. When
our contract expired in 2005,
the NYU administration hid behind a partisan
National Labor Relations Board decision and refused to renegotiate.

Local 2110 representatives to demand voluntary recognition of
the union on April 26. |

GSOC/UAW
Local 2110 is the union for all graduate employees at NYU.
As
graduate employees, we contribute to the University's mission
through our hard work.
We
at GSOC/UAW are pleased to announce that the highly respected
American Arbitration Association (AAA) has verified that a clear
majority of NYU graduate employees have chosen to be represented
by GSOC/UAW Local 2110 in collective bargaining with the NYU
administration.
|
On
April 26, 2010, a delegation formally presented the NYU administration
with the official AAA certificate confirming our majority. The
delegation included GSOC/UAW members, New York City Council
Speaker Christine Quinn, United States Congressman Jerrold Nadler
and other UAW representatives. In keeping with the democratic
will of the majority of NYU graduate employees, the delegation
also requested that the NYU administration voluntarily recognize
GSOC/UAW Local 2110 as the union for ALL graduate employees
at NYU. read
