Autoworker Caravan stands in solidarity with our UAW siblings at NYU who are on strike for livable wages and fair working conditions.  It is inconceivable for the administration to keep the workers, who make NYU such a great university, in poverty level conditions.  Graduate workers have become the lifeblood of the school.  NYU cannot…
