Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Move-In and UAW Protests 2024
Cornell University will be welcoming it's students to the Ithaca, NY campus. The city is preparing for the large migration of students back into the area. The day before the Cornell students come back the UAW Local 2300 employees are protesting still too. The NEW Cornell University students are expected to begin moving in August 19th and 20th, 2024 to attend orientation. The returning students will be moving in the following Thursday through Friday.
Cornell University's Official Statement page shares an Update on Cornell-UAW negotiations as of August 16th, 2024. In this statement they explain that the UAW covers about 1,300 of their employees throughout the university campus. UAW employees can be found throughout Cornell University from their dining to the Statler Hotel.
The UAW have already had a 94% vote to go on strike if necessary.
Part of the negotiations involve the UAW looking for better wages. One of the discussion of changes to when an employee reaches full pay-rate for their positions. There is also discussion of when bonuses and increases to pay-rates would occur per seniority and time of service.
Cornell states that if UAW goes on strike they have plans in place for essential services to continue and they will communicate any reduced hours of operation of services like dining.
There are signs and banners all around Ithaca, NY welcoming the students back. They have a check-in center prepared at The Shops at Ithaca Mall.
The protest is a very lively one. There is a lot of energy that can be heard from the protestors. Support from the local community and people driving by can be heard by the representation of horns honking every time a vehicle passes.
With 1,300 employees off the clock for the campus it can be expected there will be a bit of disruption. Even if the campus uses contracted services there may not be enough to fill the gap.
