\ud83d\udce3 <\/strong>This week we are voting to authorize a strike<\/strong>. Columbia is preventing progress on several of our core priorities such as compensation, institutional support for housing & childcare, fellow recognition etc. We have backed up our contract demands with research, arguments, and clear examples, but they are refusing to listen. As a last resort, we are holding a strike authorization vote. If successful, we will send a message of strength and unity that will hopefully propel negotiations forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udd1d A strike authorization vote would give our bargaining committee the power to call a strike if they decide that is necessary to reach a fair agreement. Postdocs and researchers in the University of California<\/a> and University of Washington<\/a> have done this already, and our colleagues at Mt Sinai are also voting to authorize a strike starting today<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udfc6 We want to win real improvements<\/strong> in our next contract (<\/strong>read more background here<\/strong><\/a>)<\/strong>. We have been mounting pressure with petitions, rallies, social media campaigns, and many more actions. Now we need to escalate. Can you take a moment to vote yes, and send a clear message to Columbia?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
