At Rutgers, everyone is represented by the AAUP. At NYU, the TAs are represented by the UAW. (I'm not cherrypicking Rutgers/NYU, I just worked at both.)

Sort of OT but I remember getting letters from AAUP when they were involved in negotiations for certain benefits for Lecturers, Part time Lecturers (TAs were considered to be part time lecturers because of some statute IIRC) when I TAed at Rutgers..
