Is there any news on the NYU graduate student assistants' strike?

[bluestateguy]

They were told that if they continued to strike this week that they would lose their funding (TA, RA appointments or stipends) next semester. Then NYU extended the deadline a couple of days. Now that deadline has passed. Has NYU pulled the trigger on the remaining strikers?

7. are the TAs in a union?

If so, someone might be maintaining a website and sending out e-mail bulletins.

9. Here's their web site, bluestateguy

I'm not sure what the latest is, but it might say something on here. The last I heard was about the extension ... I've been out of the loop since then.
