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.
With record participation from postdoc and ARS union members, an overwhelming 90% voted YES to authorize our bargaining committee to call a strike if necessary to win a fair third contract! ✊🔥
