UAW Leadership Ends NYU Faculty Strike

On March 24, 2026, less than 48 hours after nearly 1,000 full-time contract faculty launched a strike at New York University, Contract Faculty United—UAW leadership announced a tentative agreement and ordered members back to work, saying the deal secures the highest minimum salaries for non-tenure-track faculty. Reported terms include a $91,000 base for assistant rank, $100,100 for associate/full rank, $14,000 minimum raises next year, 3.5% annual increases from 2027 and a $1 million family care fund; critics and student allies urged rejection as inadequate.
