GSOC at a Glance

GSOC (Graduate Student Organizing Committee) is the union of graduate employees at New York University. Drawing from a membership of several thousand across most of NYU’s graduate schools, we represent over 2,000 graduate workers in any given semester who are Teaching Assistants, Adjunct Instructors, non-STEM Research Assistants, and Graduate Assistants.

We are affiliated with Local 7902 of the United Auto Workers and are the first recognized union of graduate employees at a private university in the United States.

The way to ensure our continued strength is through a vibrant, democratic union that maximizes the involvement and leadership of members, through both one-on-one organizing and collective actions. We draw strength from and support our campus and community allies, including NYU faculty, staff, and undergraduates.
