In our unions we trust. GO ROCS!

[Researchers Organizing Committee at Sinai @rocsuaw]

We have election dates! We will have the opportunity to vote to form our union on April 9th and 10th, between 10am-2pm and 3pm-7pm each day, in the Levinson Student Center.

[paola @pau_platz]

@spocuaw YES! 🇺🇾 J1|H1B

[paola @pau_platz]

We voted YES!! International postdocs keep science running @icahnmountsinai! 🇦🇱🇺🇸🇩🇪🇺🇾🇪🇸🇮🇹🇮🇳 We deserve job security, financial stability, and a workplace free of discrimination and harassment. #EnoughIsEnough #FairContractNow

[paola @pau_platz]

AYE!

📢 "If you support a #strike authorization vote, raise your hand and say AYE!"

28 hours is 3 days worth of work... i've spent 28 hours at the cryostat in a week. weaponized incompetence 🤡

[Sinai Postdoctoral Organizing Committee-UAW @spocuaw]

Since October 4th, 2022 @IcahnMountSinai
has met with us for a total of 28 hours over 184 days. This amount of time does not match the the urgency of the economic and non-economic problems we postdocs currently face. #StopTheStall #FairContractNow ✊🖖

[paola @pau_platz]

for 50% you get intermittent heat and hot water, plus unlimited *free* roaches... not bad for a trainee in the big city. if you add all the money we save on coffee during postdoc appreciation week, it's really hard to see what all this fuss is about.

[Sinai Postdoctoral Organizing Committee-UAW @spocuaw]

"Housing costs near Sinai can reach 50-70% of a postdoc’s base salary, but Sinai says they are unwilling to extend our housing." #StopTheStall

today in dystopian academia: while institutes across the country struggle to recruit postdocs, Mount Sinai fights us over basic rights...

[Sinai Postdoctoral Organizing Committee-UAW @spocuaw]

After more than four months of bargaining, @IcahnMountSinai STILL won’t agree to basic rights and protections - so we spoke up to tell them #StopTheStall

[paola @pau_platz]

SPOC ready to BARGAIN!

[Sinai Postdoctoral Organizing Committee-UAW @spocuaw]

Tomorrow we have our 1st bargaining session with @IcahnMountSinai! To show them we’re #ReadyToBargain, colleagues delivered an open letter signed by a majority of #postdocs urging Sinai to negotiate intensively to reach a fair and timely agreement.

we did it. congratulations postdocs! #UnionYes

[Sinai Postdoctoral Organizing Committee-UAW @spocuaw]

The ballots have been counted and we WON OUR UNION with 89.5% of #postdocs voting yes! The strength of this vote gives us a clear mandate for bargaining. @IcahnMountSinai, we look forward to meeting you at the bargaining table. Stmt: https://t.co/esNFjtXNo4

[paola @pau_platz]

we got this postdocs, let's go! #UnionYes

[Sinai Postdoctoral Organizing Committee-UAW @spocuaw]

Our historic #union election begins in 30 minutes. Let’s win this together @MtSinaiPostdocs! #UnionYes 💪🖖💪

[paola @pau_platz]

we are voting YES because international postdocs deserve administrative support and visa protections #UnionYes

[Sinai Postdoctoral Organizing Committee-UAW @spocuaw]

Our #union election starts on Wednesday. Here's @IcahnMountSinai #postdoc Piyush on why he's voting #UnionYes

[paola @pau_platz]

we are voting YES because our contributions to science deserve to be acknowledged #UnionYes

[Sinai Postdoctoral Organizing Committee-UAW @spocuaw]

Thank you @NandithaAK for sharing why you're voting #UnionYes. Sinai postdocs deserve a union! #WeDeserveAUnion

[paola @pau_platz]

we are voting YES because we care about talent retention in academia #UnionYes

[Sinai Postdoctoral Organizing Committee-UAW @spocuaw]

Thank you Lukas for sharing why you're voting #UnionYes - polls are open at 9am tomorrow morning in the student lounge in Annenberg!

[paola @pau_platz]

we are voting YES because we've seen what other unions have accomplished #UnionYes

[Sinai Postdoctoral Organizing Committee-UAW @spocuaw]

.@IcahnMountSinai #postdoc Mike He was a member of our sibling union @sw_columbia as a grad worker at @Columbia. Here's why he is voting #UnionYes

[paola @pau_platz]

Thank you @NewYorkStateAG !

[NY AG James @NewYorkStateAG]

The postdoctoral fellows of @spocuaw provide critical research for @IcahnMountSinai and the scientific community, and they deserve to have their rights protected in the workplace.

I fully support their right to organize.

[paola @pau_platz]

marginalized job positions for young researchers is not an acceptable solution for insufficient STEM funding. there is no 2 sides of this argument. #UnionYes

[Ubadah Sabbagh @neubadah]

I genuinely love being a postdoc and I chose with intention where to do it. I'm paid more than I've ever been paid in my life. Getting a PhD has offered me & my fam class mobility & privileges I never imagined. But I'll still critique the exploitative system that gave me all that

[paola @pau_platz]

I am voting YES tomorrow. Because better working conditions for postdocs means better science for all. #UnionYes

[Sinai Postdoctoral Organizing Committee-UAW @spocuaw]

If you've been 👀 this space, it paid off! We have a MAJOR #election update: new dates, old times! Finalize your #voting plans.
