CFU Bargaining Survey

Contract Faculty United-UAW has been recognized! As we prepare for collective bargaining with the NYU administration, we need your input on this survey so that once a bargaining committee is elected, they have a basic understanding of our shared priorities as NYU contract faculty.

This survey is an early step in gathering information about current working conditions and goals, across all departments and positions.

After this, the bargaining committee will request detailed employment information from the NYU administration (they are required to share this with us).

Before contract negotiations begin, union members will come together to vote on bargaining goals, to ensure that the bargaining committee has a mandate to negotiate a strong contract representing contract faculty across NYU.

Please participate in this crucial step by identifying priorities relating to working conditions shared by most contract faculty.
