New York University reached a tentative agreement with the union representing approximately 950 non-tenure track faculty on raises, better job security and more, the union and the university announced Wednesday morning, putting an end to a strike that began on Monday as students returned to campus from spring break.
Striking faculty returned to work Wednesday having won “the highest minimum salaries of any unionized full-time, non-tenure track faculty in the country,” Brendan Hogan, a philosophy professor and spokesperson for Contract Faculty United-UAW, said in a statement.
“We fought, and won,” said Hogan.
Under the terms of the deal, which is pending approval by union members, 95% of union members will make more than $100,000 annually, and the lowest-ranked faculty will make $91,000. “Everyone in our union will get a minimum raise of $14,000 by the start of the next academic year,” Hogan said. The immediate raises will be more substantial for long-time faculty, in order to address the issue of salary compression, according to the university.
