Unions and Labor Groups at NYU
Labor Unions
ACT-UAW Local 7902
Academics Come Together
ACT-UAW Local 7902 represents over 4,000 part-time and adjunct teachers, student educators, and healthcare workers. It consists of four units: one for teachers at NYU, another for those at the New School, one for student educators at the New School, and another for healthcare workers at the New School. It was founded in 2002 after several years of organizing efforts, and elected its first executive officers in 2005.
CFU-UAW Local 7902
Contract Faculty United
We are the union for full-time continuing contract faculty at NYU, whose objective is to establish recognition of our union and collective bargaining with the University. A majority of the ~1,000 full-time, non-tenured contract faculty across NYU schools have signed up and said we want a union. We are calling on the NYU administration to agree to a fair process to verify majority support of our union.

Office and Professional Employees International Union
OPEIU Local 153 supports workers throughout New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. We empower working people to make the changes they want to see in their workplaces and their communities. Our members are employed in a range of fields, including social services, legal aid, higher education, healthcare, hotels, credit unions, and sports facilities.

UCATS Local 3882
Union of Clerical, Administrative, and Technical Staff
UCATS Local 3882 represents 1,200 NYU staff level employees. Staff level employees are leaving NYU because the pay is not competitive in the NYC labor market. And the heroic effort of our members that kept NYU running during the pandemic has been ignored.
