We are the 500+ Postdoctoral and Research workers @USC forming a union to fight for job security, increased living standards, and better working conditions
Los Angeles, CA
Joined February 2024

Bargaining starts today! The more postdocs that participate in the bargaining process, the better positioned we are collectively to negotiate for a strong contract. Whatever we win in our contract, we win together ✊ visit https://t.co/W9sYDPRgRe
