NEW YORK-Some 500 students and workers rallied in front of the New York University library December 2 to demand the university administration negotiate a new union contract with the teaching assistants, members of the Graduate Student Organizing Committee of United Auto Workers Local 2110. The graduate student employees have been on strike since November 9. NYU is refusing to bargain with the union. "This is great, all locals should come together," commented Pete Denicolo, one of about 30 Transport Workers Union Local 100 members attending the rally in solidarity. Their contract with the city expires December 15.
