Hello GSOC supporters!
Today, Thursday, February 16, is the 100th day of our strike. We will remain on strike until the NYU administration agrees to negotiate with our union in good faith for a second contract.
Here are some of the things that we have been doing this semester, in order to convince President Sexton, the NYU Board of Trustees and the administration to bargain with our union. We have been picketing and leafleting President Sexton and the NYU Trustees wherever they go. (…)

18 February 2006, posted by John Malone
The Graduate Student Organizing Committee (GSOC) of Local 2110/UAW is a union for graduate students who work at NYU as teachers, researchers, and graduate assistants.
In 2000, GSOC won an historic first contract that raised stipends 40%, provided healthcare and childcare benefits, and addressed important workplace rights for graduate employees. Now the NYU administration is attempting to dissolve the union, hiding behind a regressive legal decision made by the Bush-appointed Labor Board. (…) -

US - NEW YORK - Statement from TWU-Local 100 President Roger Toussaint on Contract Vote Outcome
26 January 2006, posted by Dial
"We are disappointed to report that the members of our Union have voted not to ratify the agreement that we reached with the MTA. More than 22,000 votes were cast and the margin was only seven votes. 11, 234 votes were cast against and 11,227 were cast in favor.
We believe that this result is the product of a number of negative and inappropriate influences. First, the Governor. As soon as our contract was announced, the Governor pronounced that the deal was too rich. As you will (…) -

Dec. 22- TWU Local 100 - The first NYC system-wide transit strike in 25 years ended today. Local 100 had to walk out to stop the TA’s 11th hour pension ambush. We walked out strong, and we walk back stronger.
Thousands of transit workers have been on freezing cold picket lines around the clock for three days. The vote of the TWU Local 100 Executive Board to overwhelmingly accept the recommendation of theNew York State Mediators means we will now start reporting to work.

US - NEW YORK - TWU Local 100 Rumor control: "MTA Surprised at Local 100 Unity Launches Disinformation Campaign to Weaken Strike"
22 December 2005, posted by John Malone
2005/12/21 - TWU Local 100 website - Maybe the MTA believes that TWU Local 100 is split into a dozen warring factions. After all, that’s what the press was reporting, quoting anonymous flyers. Maybe it was just wishful thinking on their part. Whatever the reason, the MTA expected thousands of transit workers to cross lines and report to work: IT NEVER HAPPENED.
Instead, the MTA was stunned to see thousands of union members all over the system picketing, chanting and standing together. (…) -

Dec. 21- TWU local 100 website - Yesterday you used your position as Mayor of New York to call us "thuggish"and "selfish." How dare you?
Our children turn on the TV to see the Mayor denouncing their parents as "morally reprehensible." Have you no shame?
As you know better than most, this strike was forced on us by the MTA. You know this because you share much of the blame. It is your provocative rhetoric about what givebacks we transit workers must accept for the next generation of (…) -

21 December 2005, posted by John Malone
2005/12/21 - From the Transport Workers Union Local 100’s website:
For generations, a job in New York’s subways and buses was the first step on the road to the American dream. The MTA is telling us Not Any More.That’s what this strike is all about.
We know how hard things are for New Yorkers. It’s hard to get around New York when the trains and buses aren’t rolling. It’s hard for us and our families too.
We are losing wages, and the Mayor wants every transit worker to pay fines of (…)
