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

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!

Join us and several other union groups from around campus!
