New York, NY: With their current contract expired at midnight on November 13th, part-time faculty at The New School have voted by 97% to authorize a strike, with 87% of the part-time faculty working this semester participating. Unless The New School relents from its intransigence at the bargaining table, the part-time faculty will go out on strike starting Wednesday November 16th. An overwhelming 1,307 part-time faculty majority of the roughly 1,678 part-time faculty working this semester are willing to withhold labor to fight for meaningful wage increases, no cuts to healthcare, and third-party protection from harassment and discrimination.
