What is GSOC/UAW Local 2110?
A union is a group of workers who use their collective strength to have a say in their workplace conditions. GSOC/UAW (Graduate Student Organizing Committee) is the union for teaching, research and graduate assistants at New York University. GSOC is part of UAW Local 2110, a technical, office and professional local union that includes university, museum and publishing workers. GSOC, the UAW and Local 2110 are committed to restoring collective bargaining rights to their NYU graduate employee membership. Collective bargaining gives employees a say in their working conditions on issues like pay, workload protections, workplace safety and benefits. Since its inception in the 1990s, a majority of NYU graduate employees have consistently demonstrated their support for GSOC/UAW Local 2110 as their representative of choice as well as their preference for collective bargaining with their employer, NYU.
