- Postdocs reached a Tentative Agreement on our next contract tonight! ✊ Tomorrow, we will make a collective decision around the timing for ending our strike. Members, check your email for details as well as information about the ratification vote process!
GIF - It’s official, a supermajority of University of Washington Research Scientists and Postdocs voted yes in our Strike Authorization Votes. Of 959 RSE A-4s who voted, 879 (91.7%) voted YES. Of 401 Postdoc members who voted, 386 (96.3%) voted YES.
- We are deeply appreciative to @SecCardona for not crossing our picket line today, in line with policy by the Biden Administration. We’ll continue to make our fights for fair contracts visible until we win contracts which respect our contributions at UW.
- Next week, when MLK Labor Council delegates consider whether the Seattle Police Officer Guild (SPOG) should remain affiliated with the Labor Council, our delegates will join with union members throughout the county in voting against SPOG affiliation. (1/2)
- UW doesn’t want to pay Postdocs the living wage minimum for Washington State salaried employees. They’re trying to re-write history to get their way. #FairContractsUW #UWPostdocsRSEs #UWworksBCWeDo
00:00 - Replying to @UAW4121Last night, at the largest membership mtg this year, Local 4121 members voted overwhelmingly to push for SPOG disaffiliation. The Mayor’s Office and SPOG should no longer be allowed to evade critical accountability measures that should have been enacted years ago! (2/2)
- UW RESEARCHERS FILED FOR THEIR UNION! Congrats to @uwrunited! UW Research Scientists/Engineers A-4 are joining academic workers across the country by coming together to form a union to improve their working conditions, and create a stronger UW & stronger science. #1u
