Together, we\u2019ve had over 20 bargaining sessions<\/a> with Columbia, laying out why postdocs and ARSs need a living wage \u2013 and why the university should provide institutional support for it. We rallied and handed out flyers at a lecture hosted by President-Elect Shafik. We\u2019ve delivered a petition demanding a better contract. We\u2019ve reached out to faculty to ask for their support<\/a>, and received several signatures on our letter to the university. We even made clear our threat to withhold our labor by taking a Strike Authorization Vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, the university continues to refuse to make an offer in line with what the majority of postdocs and ARSs need. And so, we are preparing to strike.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our first step: let\u2019s show Columbia what our unity behind a better contract looks like by picketing President Shafik\u2019s inauguration.<\/p>\n\n\n

It\u2019s called a Practice Picket, because we\u2019ll be practicing what a strike would look like: leaving work, joining a picket line, and helping organize collective action for a better contract.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
