Alliance of STEM Graduate Students & Workers - UPD

STEM graduate students and workers in UP Diliman. We have come together for worker rights in the university and to find solutions to resolve outstanding issues.

Similar in PH, where STEM workers resort to having side jobs and loaning money from their bosses, friends, and families just to survive while waiting for their months-delayed salaries.

[Maydianne Andrade @WidowWeb]

Canada's science & innovation talent pipeline is a massive filter, removing those without external financial support. How many potential Nobel laureates have we excluded? How many who may have cured cancer? Pay emerging scientists a living wage @cafreeland. #SupportOurScience

Our position in @STEMAllianceUPD has been very clear — bridging funds and inclusion of STEM workers in the Magna Carta for Scientists.

“Isa sa mga lifeblood ng university ay ang pananaliksik … In order for us to better serve the society, we should have a research-enabling environment para sa lahat ng mga mananaliksik regardless of their status and kung saan mang field sila napapabilang,” says @STEMAllianceUPD.

Behind the efforts of researchers to contribute to society, research assistants in UP are burdened by delayed wages and a lack of benefits in their laboratories and field works. Two RAs from the university share their experience with us.

Pakikisa sa mga STEM workers na nananawagan ng sapat at on-time na sahod. Kasabay dapat ng pag-unlad ng agham at teknolohiya ang pag-unlad ng kalagayan ng mga manggagawa at ng malawak na masa✊️

Science is labor, and labor deserves respect.
Please ❤️ and retweet. 👉👈

[Aiko Love 🌊 @aikoloks]

Doing science work is also labor, and we deserve timely and just pay for it. :)

Pahayag namin mula sa @STEMAllianceUPD at @AghamNasyunal sa pagdiriwang ng Araw ng Paggawa.

Some reasons why colonial and parachute science continue to happen in the Philippines, local researchers (especially early career researchers) struggle to not just find funding for research/fieldwork but a livable & timely wage

[naomii | volcanao.bsky.social @volcaNAO]

Who has experienced taking loans while working because of salary delays or research/presentation/fieldwork funding in a reimbursement-bases? 🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️

This set-up disenfranchises scientists from low-income households, discouraging people to be 🇵🇭scientists bc we can't afford it.

[Národ Eco @narodski]

What STEM and graduate student workers have been asking for are bare minimum employer obligations. So if you're a scientist considering hiring assistants and students, think long and hard first if you and your institution can provide these. Otherwise, scale down your project.

[Národ Eco @narodski]

One of the biggest lies in academia is that research activities by grad students are purely educational. Knowledge products—data, reports, papers, etc—produced by grad students, regardless of employment relations, are commodities used by unis as currencies to get more funding

[Agham National @AghamNasyunal]

⚒ Ngayong Labor Day, sumali ang mga siyentista, inhinyero at teknolohista sa panawagang #SahodItaasPresyoIbaba #NoToPayDelay #HazardPayNow ✊ Maraming stem workers ang nakararanas ng late na sahod at kawalan ng hazard pay. #MayoUno2023

[Národ Eco @narodski]

The best way to build up a critical mass of STEM professionals is to fix academe and science institutions. Studying abroad is only viable for a select few. Our science institutions still haven't transcended their colonial roots, so Western educ only reinforces these

[Agham National @AghamNasyunal]

This Labor Day, @STEMAllianceUPD and AGHAM join the ranks of our fellow Filipino workers in our struggle for better working conditions and equitable wages.

Science workers are essential to advancing scientific knowledge and developing our nation. Their contributions are often undervalued, leading to brain drain and underdeveloped local industries.
