It's worth noting that Ancona has been vocal about keeping union activities focused on improving working conditions for members rather than making political statements. He has expressed concerns about a recent statement made by the NYU adjunct professors' union (UAW Local 7902) regarding the Gaza war, stating that such political declarations fall outside the union's mandate.2
