On September 9th, we marched at the labor day para On September 9th, we marched at the labor day parade with all our @uawregion9a comrades and our postdoc siblings @spocuaw  @nyuresearchers @cfuuaw  @wcmpostdocunion and Princenton postdocs.

We discussed the recent strikes with @sw_columbia @act_uaw7902 and @tcunion2110 and are getting #strikeready
On September 07, Columbia postdocs and associate r On September 07, Columbia postdocs and associate researchers joined by members of @sw_columbia demonstrated in front of the business school where our president is attending a talk on inflation! We are demanding admin address inflation not just academically - but also in our contract!

‘Hey Columbia, here’s your choice support your researchers or hear our voice!’

What do we want - a contract!
When do we want it a now!

The latest compensation offer that administration has put on the table is a real terms pay cut when considering inflation. This is unacceptable to our membership - as they made clear in our recent strike authorization vote - it’s now on Columbia to make a fair contract offer!
This Thursday 9/7 at 4:30pm we have an opportunity This Thursday 9/7 at 4:30pm we have an opportunity to push @Columbia to resolve our contract before a strike begins, by offering institutional support against the inflation which has swallowed up our wages. Join us and several other union groups from around campus!
🚨 We are excited to report that out of the almo 🚨 We are excited to report that out of the almost 1000 postdocs and research scientists that cast a ballot in our historic strike authorization vote, 98% of members voted YES ✊🏽🔥

Stay tuned for updates on our campaign as we take collective action to achieve a strong contract. 

✍️ Moreover, over 130 new workers have signed a membership card to officially join our union since bargaining started, greatly building our power ⚡️
