WHAT IS THE FAIR LABOR CODE OF CONDUCT AND WHY DO WE NEED IT?
The Fair Labor Code of Conduct is a binding, legally enforceable contract that would govern the construction and operation of all future NYU branch campuses, including NYU Abu Dhabi. The Fair Labor Code of Conduct would empower an independent third party, external monitor to enforce fair labor standards. A third party monitor is critical to ensuring unbiased, fair enforcement of labor standards at sites that bear NYU’s name. Unenforceable assurances from the governments of countries hosting NYU branch campuses are not enough – individual governments may be unwilling or unable to guarantee fair labor practices and what they are able to provide will likely vary widely.
