WHO’S GOT THE POWER? WE GOT THE POWER!

200 postdocs, ARS, and supporters picketed outside Columbia’s “State of the School” presentation Monday to send a clear message: we need Columbia to stop breaking the law and negotiate in good faith for a fair contract, or we will strike!

Two years have passed since we began bargaining with @EinsteinMed . Yesterday, our elected Bargaining Committee announced a Strike Authorization Vote (SAV) beginning on October 5th. A successful SAV will give our BC the power to call a strike if necessary to win a fair contract.

On Friday, we went to Dean Tomer's office with a letter announcing our readiness to call on our Bargaining Committee to hold a Strike Authorization Vote if necessary to reach a fair contract. The letter was signed by 50 Postdocs across 14 departments.
