BARUCH COLLEGE — On May Day, May 1, hundreds of CUNY faculty and staff signed a pledge to not work, in solidarity with a student encampment at City College.
The strike, which is illegal under state law and was not endorsed by the Professional Staff Congress, the union representing CUNY workers, comes after law enforcement and riot police carried out a violent crackdown on the night before to clear protest encampments at City College and Columbia University.
