🧵Statement from UAW President Shawn Fain Condemning Attacks on Higher Education:
The UAW represents 100,000 higher education workers, including campus staff, student workers, faculty, research assistants, and postdoctoral fellows, at Columbia University and beyond.
Hundreds of NYC academic workers and allies came together yesterday as part of a National Day of Action to #DefendPublicResearch funding. They say cut back, we say fight back! ✊
We are excited to announce that a majority of Senior Researchers at Mount Sinai have signed authorization cards in support of forming our union, Researchers Organizing Committee at Sinai-UAW!
Our postdoc colleagues voted to form their union two years ago - since then, they've won a contract that has set industry standards on pay and workplace rights, and enlarged the voice of researchers @IcahnMountSinai. Check out this message of support from our colleagues @spocuaw!
📣 We filed a ULP against @Columbia! 📣
For months, we’ve requested basic information on bargaining unit employees, but @Columbia refuses to comply. This data is essential to enforcing our contract and running union business. @Columbia—meet your obligations under our CBA!
With more than 80% of postdocs having signed up in support, we are excited to announce that we have filed our petition with the @NLRB for an official vote to form our Union!
We are excited to announce that a strong majority of Postdoctoral Researchers have signed authorization cards in support of forming our union, Einstein Researchers United-UAW!
