During NYU’s “Re-engineering” Here’s How to
Keep Your Union Strong

Everyone has to do their part in keeping the union strong. It’s important to have a strong union in good times, but it is especially important in bad times. During this period of NYU’s “re-engineering,” here’s what you can do to help keep your union strong:

Know your rights.

• Read and refer to your union contract to know what your rights are.
• Keep up with information from your union.
  • Read Momentum, your union newsletter.
  • Periodically check the UCATS website for updates.
  • Read your union mail.

Enforce your contractual rights.

• Report contract violations or potential violations to your union steward or the union office.
• Contact your union steward or the union office (ucats@erols.com) if you have been approached by management about changes in your job; if you are told your job is going to be eliminated or restructured; if you are told you are being bumped; if you have been issued a discipline, etc.
• Document what management tells you about what the “re-engineering” means in your area or to you personally and let your union steward or the union office (ucats@erols.com) know the specifics of what you’ve been told.

Maintain unity with your union co-workers.

• Work cooperatively with your union co-workers. Don’t let management play you off against each other.

Support your co-workers.

• Advise your co-workers to contact their union steward or the union office if their jobs are eliminated, if they are told they are being bumped or if they are having any problems on the job.
• Help union employees who have been displaced from their jobs and are placed in your department through filling a vacancy or by bumping.

Don’t spread rumors.

• This is a difficult time when many members are very fearful of what is going to happen to their jobs and their families. Spreading rumors creates more anxiety. Stick to the facts.

In unity, strength.
