IT'S OFFICIAL: ON JUNE 7, UW POSTDOCS AND RESEARCH SCIENTISTS/ENGINEERS WILL STRIKE unless University of Washington agrees to fair contracts! UW Researchers United-UAW

Hey UW Postdoc Association, MANY UW faculty are told not to discuss bargaining AT ALL; and they're given very little info even though our contract absolutely impacts them. That's not right, so please share this faculty-written letter with them & ask them to sign on: tinyurl.com/DearColleagueP…

Me still waiting on an institutional response to the NIH reminding universities they can treat NRSA fellows like full employees.

As UW Postdoc Association and UW Researchers United-UAW researchers prepare to strike, here's your reminder from a UC colleague who was where we're at just a few months ago: “We’re not lucky to get paid at all, we’re severely underpaid for the skilled work that we do.” -science.org/content/articl…

We have not yet reached an agreement. Unfortunately we're still seeing some misinformation from University of Washington Labor Relations about what is and is not allowed in anticipation of a possible strike. Here are some FACTS and Fictions. #FairContractsUW #UWPostdocsRSEs #UWworksBCWeDo

Our postdoc union is fighting for a fair contract that will benefit all current and incoming postdocs over the next 2 years. If you're joining the strike tomorrow, please sign up for in person or remote picket line at bit.ly/uwpicket. Hope to see you there!

One week longer, one week stronger! We're back on the picket lines until UW agrees to fair contracts. #FairContractsUW #UWPostdocsRSEs #UWworksBCWeDo

Postdocs reached a Tentative Agreement on our next contract tonight! ✊ Tomorrow, we will make a collective decision around the timing for ending our strike. Members, check your email for details as well as information about the ratification vote process!

📢UW Postdocs & Research Scientists/Engineers A-4 have ratified new contracts! 💪🎉 Postdoc total Yes vote = 99% (386 out of 391). RSE A-4s total Yes vote = 99% (942 out of 956) voting to ratify our first-ever contract!
