In April, we voted by 92% to authorize a strike if necessary. To show WCM that they need to reach an agreement with us immediately, we will hold an informational picket outside 1300 York on Wednesday, August 6th at 12pm.

Today, we joined forces with @rocsuaw and @SSWUAW —along with hundreds of researchers nationwide—to tell our elected representatives we need the NIH restrictions lifted now. Critical medical research can’t wait! #UnionStrong
UAW 4811 members joined hundreds of other researchers today to demand an end to Federal funding freezes. Together we called on our representatives to maintain federal funding in critical research areas like cancer, heart disease and diabetes research.

We hosted 2 town halls yesterday, in Manhattan and on RI, to update our community on progress and roadblocks in bargaining. We were joined by @spocuaw postdocs who shared how they overcame opposition and won a fair contract that benefits all members of the postdoc community.
