1/26 NYU Graduate Student Rally (Thurs)

SUPPORT STRIKING NYU GRAD EMPLOYEES
RALLY at NYU
Thursday, January 26
4 pm


The National Labor Relations Board has ruled that graduate student employees are not workers and thus not covered by the National Labor Relations Act. This ruling directly affects graduate student employees at private universities, but could have a ripple effect at public universities as well if we fail to exert our right to organize now! Graduate student employees at NYU have been on strike for over two months because the university is refusing to recognize the union and negotiate a new contract after their contract expired August 31 of 2005. The Socialist Party's Labor Commission will be organizing a contingent to be at the rally. Contact us for a free ride down or to meet at NYU.

UAW Local 2322 and GEO (the UMass Grad Union) are organizing transportation down to the protest from Western Massachusetts. We will be leaving from UMass Amherst around noon and returning about 10 or 11 pm.
