RE:                   CGEU ASKS for STRIKE SUPPORT FUNDS for NYU LOCAL GSOC/UAW 2110

From the CGEU listserv:

As you all know, the members of GSOC/UAW Local 2110 at NYU have been on
strike since November 9.  NYU president John Sexton has told strikers
that they will lose their teaching positions and pay for the spring
semester, so GSOCers are now facing the possibility of severe financial
hardship as our strike continues.

Many individuals and locals have already contributed to our hardship
fund, and the members of GSOC are deeply grateful for those
contributions.  We would also like to ask for any additional donations
that individuals and locals can make, so that our hardship fund can
help strikers cover their basic expenses.

There are two ways that you can contribute.  Both the CGEU website
(www.cgeu.org) and the GSOC website ( www.2110uaw.org/gsoc ) now feature
a link to an online donation site.  Checks can also be made out to "UAW
Local 2110" with "GSOC strike fund" in the memo line, and mailed to:

GSOC/Local 2110
113 University Place, 5th Floor
New York, NY 10003

Please forward this appeal to any lists you think appropriate,
including members, faculty, and unions in your area.

In solidarity (on behalf of GSOC),
