Great strategy session learning how fellow postdocs in NYC have tackled delay tactics at the bargaining table! ✊💪🦾.
At our second-ever contract campaign retreat, NYC researchers discussed strategies on winning strong contracts, fighting federal funding cuts, and raising standards for all researchers✊

It’s more important than ever to win protections for the many of us who are international researchers! The more of us fighting together in @UAW, the stronger we are 💪🦾.
“I was first to vote at Ames Hall this morning, 9am sharp! Here’s to stronger protections for international workers.”. Polls are opening back up at 3pm-7pm at both Turner Auditorium at East Baltimore and Ames Hall, Room #402 at Homewood. Let’s do this!

We are fighting for federal funding to support our institution 👊. @EinsteinMed should stop rejecting protections for international workers and agree to a fair contract NOW that supports us all‼️.
Thank you to Representative @Grace4NY for meeting with us, @cpwuaw @eruuaw and supporting us in our fight to defend federal research funding and international workers rights! #KillTheCuts

This week Einstein postdocs have been fighting back against cuts to federal research funding that @EinsteinMed relies on. At today’s bargaining session, it’s important that Einstein stop rejecting protections and move swiftly towards a fair contract.
Hundreds of academic workers across NYC marched to demand that lawmakers #killthecuts on federal research funding yesterday, part of a National Day of Action!

This progress is a direct result of our organizing efforts. It’s proof that when we stand together and make our voices heard, we can move @EinsteinMed in the right direction towards our goal of a fair and enforceable contract.

We pressed @EinsteinMed to clarify their remaining objections to some of our key demands. While their responses made it clear that we are still far apart in some areas, our discussions were helpful for keeping negotiations moving toward a fair agreement.

At last Friday's session, the @EinsteinMed administration presented counter proposals on the 10 articles where they have been showing minimal movement or even moving backwards since October! Check out their counter proposals here:

We delivered the letter in person on last Thursday with researchers from across departments @EinsteinMed.

In response to lack of progress, researchers from across campus began circulating an Open Letter, urging @EinsteinMed to avoid further delays and stop going backwards in their counter proposals. A majority of postdocs signed the open letter!

While we made significant progress at the start of negotiations, by February @EinsteinMed had started slowed down in their responses, making only minimal movement and even going backwards on some previous positions.
