In that case, the NLRB voted to return to its long-standing position of more than 50 years that teaching assistants have an academic, rather than economic, relationship with universities, and that teaching assistants are not \u201cemployees\u201d as defined by federal labor law who can be subjected to union monopoly bargaining.<\/p>\n<p>In their latest brief, Foundation attorneys argue that UAW union lawyers are using the NYU case as a means to overturn the Brown University case, even though the facts are different.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Foundation attorneys undercut the union lawyers&#8217; arguments for new precedent that establishes teaching assistants as employees of the university, because grades are the central form of compensation for graduate students who are paid to teach, research, or perform temporary work.<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"\/en\/press\/2011\/07\/nyu-grad-students-07292011\">Read the entire release here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/i\/newsrelease.png\" style=\"padding-left: 60px\" alt=\"News Release\" align=\"middle\" border=\"0\" height=\"48\" width=\"457\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"\/en\/press\/2011\/07\/nyu-grad-students-07292011\" title=Worker Advocate Asks Federal Labor Board to Uphold Precedent Disallowing Forced Unionization of Grad Students\">Worker Advocate Asks Federal Labor Board to Uphold Precedent Disallowing Forced Unionization of Grad Students<\/a><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center; font-style: italic\">Foundation files brief supporting university teaching assistants&#8217; First Amendment freedom of association<\/h3>\n<p><b>Washington, DC (July 29, 2011)<\/b> \u2013 The National Right to Work Foundation filed an <i>amicus curiae<\/i> (\u00abfriend of the court\u00bb) brief with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) asking the Board to uphold its long-standing precedent to disallow union officials to corral university graduate students working as teaching assistants into unwanted union affiliation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[888],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-803","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
