GSOC-UAW is the union of graduate student employees at New York University. Graduate student employees are an invaluable resource to NYU. We teach, research, perform administrative work, and assist faculty. Tens of thousands of graduate employees across the United States are unionized, negotiating contracts that provide for fair pay, benefits, and non-discriminatory policies. Having formed a union with the UAW, we have the benefit of working with a strong progressive union that has experience working with university graduate employees and support staff as well as professional employees ranging from writers to archivists to lawyers.

Our Issues, Our Needs, Our Union

Graduate employees and students have pressing issues and needs. We face high rents, poor healthcare, low wages, and an uncertain future. We have listened to the concerns of thousands of graduate employees in every department, in every school, in every lab, in every classroom, in every office of the university.
