Huge news! The regional National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) just set dates for our election on unionization to take place on October 2nd and 3rd. We are happy to report that the regional NLRB rejected Columbia\u2019s attempt to deny more than 1,000 of us the ability to vote at all, and further agreed with our proposal for Postdoctoral Research Scientists\/Scholars\/Fellows and Associate Research Scientists\/Scholars to vote on and be represented together in the same union.\u00a0Click here to share with us why you plan to vote union yes!<\/a><\/p>\n

If a majority votes \u201cyes\u201d for CPW-UAW in the election, Columbia would have a legal obligation to engage in collective bargaining with us as a union. We would elect a committee of our peers to sit down as equals with Columbia to negotiate for improvements that matter to us as committed scientists and scholars. \u00a0We would join together with thousands of postdocs at the University of California, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, University of Washington, UMass, and UConn, and 75,000 total UAW academic workers across the United States, who already bargain.\u00a0Check here to read examples of improvements our UAW colleagues have won at other universities<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can read the full regional NLRB decision here<\/a>\u00a0and see below for voting times and locations. \u00a0We will be sharing more detailed information about the election soon, as well as upcoming events where postdocs can learn more in order to make an informed decision in this historic vote.<\/p>\n
