UW Postdocs United

We are UW Postdocs forming a union to improve the postdoc experience at UW and increase the political voice of researchers locally and nationally.

[UW Postdocs United @UWPostdocsUnite]

Its official! Postdocs have ratified our contract by a vote of 587 - 17!!! That's 68% of all UW postdocs voting YES. This is a huge victory for all UW Postdocs and for the fight to win fair working conditions for academic employees across the country.

[UAW 4121 Academic Workers @UAW4121]

Nurses and caregivers @SEIU1199NW are fighting for safety, equity, and respect. We stand in solidarity with our union siblings whose work keeps our healthcare system running. #UnitedforSafetyatSwedish

[UW Postdocs United @UWPostdocsUnite]

Solidarity with our union siblings at Harvard who are going on strike tomorrow for better rights and protections

[Harvard Grad Students Union-UAW Local 5118 @hgsuuaw]

No agreement was reached in our final bargaining session today before our strike deadline.

WE GO ON STRIKE TOMORROW.

"People from underrepresented groups in particular feel a responsibility to give back to their communities, and they say such invisible work is rewarding, but it comes at a cost—sometimes a cost as high as derailing a career."

UC researchers generate 10% of all academic research papers published in the U.S. and are standing up for open access so everyone can use the important research funded by taxpayer dollars!

Earlier today, along with our @uaw5810 and @uaw2865 colleagues, Berkeley ARs rallied at UCB’s California Hall to demand that @UofCalifornia Administration negotiate a fair contract now! #UCResearchersUnited #UnionStrong
