#PGRsDeserveBetter

[PWO Ireland @PWO_Ireland]

Today we gathered across the country to continue the fight towards worker status for ALL PhDs

ALL PhDs deserve
- A living wage
- Sick leave
- Parental leave
- Labour protections

Postgraduate researchers protest over pay: ‘People are skipping meals in order to do research here’ https://t.co/mvSN67FfaX

[PWO TCD @PWO_TCD]

After two years of campaigning and protesting, PGR rights are still systematically overlooked in Trinity. We are preparing to go on strike. #PGR_STRIKE

Join us this Wednesday at 12 p.m. as we walk out in solidarity with our PhD community in response to Budget 2024.
PhD researchers teach, they grade papers, they act as invigilators during exams all on top of their research and STILL CANNOT AFFORD TO LIVE.

‘I was disappointed that the increase was below what was recommended by the review and that only the pay increase was talked about,’ says @KConteddu, a PhD candidate at @data_science_ie. ‘Everything else was pushed under the carpet.’

[PWO Ireland @PWO_Ireland]

We are disgusted to have been overlooked in #Budget2024 despite assurances from @dfheris that IRC/SFI stipends would go up.

We are struggling. We are the backbone of Irish research & higher edu. We are undervalued by the state & our universities.

We are fighting back - join us

Hey guys! Have worked hard on organizing this workshop with @diptobarman10 @JovanJeromela @HASSAN_i_ZAAL and @awais_akbar_cs.

Please consider submitting if you work with context representation in HCI, user modelling, or adaptive systems, or spreading the word to colleagues!

The Revenue Commission has said that PhD researchers may be required to pay taxes on their stipends

Postgraduate researchers protest at Dáil over pay and conditions https://t.co/8EHhl7afD7

[PWO Ireland @PWO_Ireland]

Interestingly, this commitment doesn't stop @scienceirel from funding PhD programs that don't offer parental leave

[PWO Ireland @PWO_Ireland]

We teach your students

We write your papers

We mark your exams

We supervise your labs

Is this all we are worth?

[PWO TCD @PWO_TCD]

While the announcement from TCD today that they will increase internal funding to 25k, we are disappointed to see that the measures do not extend far enough to cover those covered by departmental funding as well 1/6https:// https://t.co/9Wou7UVwVi

[PWO Gaeilge @PWO_Gaeilge]

@RasmusPagh1 Ireland: >7

Highest paid PhDs are €19K

Lowest paid full professor is €130k

Ireland also has the second highest cost of living in Europe, and PhDs have no employment contracts and therefore no employee protections or rights.

[The University Times @universitytimes]

With almost unliveable conditions, the higher education sector may soon be facing a general strike. The groups and individuals campaigning for postgraduate rights spoke to The University Times about their conditions and their demands for the future

[PWO Gaeilge @PWO_Gaeilge]

With only half of this amount all SFI funded #PhD researchers in Ireland could be provided the dignity of a living wage. With 10% you could provide the basic decency of a minimum wage. Prioritise those who are the future of Irish Research @SimonHarrisTD, @scienceirel @DeptofFHed
