sign on to the representative letter

On September 15th, members of the NYU Adjuncts Union delivered a letter demanding Paid Family Leave signed by a representative group of adjuncts across campus. The more of us who come together and add our names, the more power we have to ensure that we win this PFL for our colleagues and their families. Thousands of unionized adjuncts around the city have already won this essential right, and we can join them by urging NYU to commit to timely, robust implementation of PFL. Read our letter here.
