Despite attacks on research and increasing uncertainty for international workers, @einsteinmed has stalled negotiations for a fair union contract for over a year. Join us tomorrow during your lunch break for a rally to call on @einsteinmed to meet the moment with a fair contract!

This month we’ve made massive movement towards @WeillCornell to reach an agreement - now WCM's needs to meet us on the most important issues for postdocs, including protections against layoffs where funding still exists, and reasonable backpay in recognition of bargaining delays.

We got together yesterday w @rocsuaw to discuss recent attacks on the rights of international researchers. One way we can fight back right now is by submitting a comment to the DHS opposing its harmful proposal on F and J visas. Here is the link - make your voice heard!

We are gearing up to negotiate a new contract! One of our first steps is getting input from a majority of postdocs through bargaining surveys. Be on the lookout for surveys that are circulating or connect with your local steward to fill one out today!

We are excited to work together with @ZohranKMamdani to make our city a better place—for researchers and for all New Yorkers!
Today we’re making history in NYC - we have a chance to elect leaders who stand with workers. When we were on strike, @ZohranKMamdani and @bradlander stood with us. Rank Mamdani #1 and Lander #2. Vote union strong. ✊

While excelling in our fields, we’re forced to navigate one of the most expensive cities in the country without the basic support other postdocs in NYC already have. Postdocs deserve childcare support and a stable contract. Chelsea Crooks, Postdoctoral Associate in Pediatrics.

Columbia has dragged its feet for years on implementing anti-bullying protections that we won in our contract. As part of a meeting with the Vice Provost today, postdocs & associate researchers delivered a petition signed by the majority of our coworkers demanding no more delays!
