We are the union of postdocs @IcahnMountSinai organizing as part of @UAW Local 4100 to increase researchers voice locally and nationally. RTs ≠ endorsements.
Researchers across Columbia brought the heat to campus yesterday to demand Columbia work with us, not against us, in reaching a fair contract! So far, Columbia has resisted common-sense improvements such as living wages and job security. When we fight, we win!✊ #UnionStrong
JOIN US TOMORROW for a city-wide Day of Action.
Hear from Viviana Scoca, a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at Columbia, on why she's fighting for a fair contract!

Join researchers across New York for a citywide Day of Action for fair contracts and to defend science.
We’re organizing for job stability, workplace rights, and the future of research.

6 months into bargaining, @IcahnMountSinai still refuses basic workplace rights. Today, we delivered an open letter signed by 400 senior researchers and postdocs @spocuaw, calling on them to reach a fair contract so we can get back to doing the research we love. #FairSinaiNow
Ahead of our first bargaining session with Sinai tomorrow, we delivered an open letter to @IcahnMountSinai, signed by 400 postdocs and senior researchers @rocsuaw, calling on them to agree to a fair contract. #FairSinaiNow#UnionStrong
Still energized by the solidarity we felt watching our colleague Antonio speak at Sunday's Tax the Rich rally with @sensanders! Thanks to @nycdsa for inviting us — it was incredible to join so many voices calling for economic justice here in the Bronx. When we fight, we win!
At our bargaining session with @RockefellerUniv yesterday, we continued to push for strong protections against harassment, discrimination, and bullying without delay and without restricting our rights. It was great to see so many postdocs show up in support!
This Tuesday we officially started negotiations with Columbia University's administration for a strong 3rd contract! More than 30 of us, postdocs and ARSs, stood behind our bargaining team in a packed room!
Next bargaining session is on April 13th 2pm. Look out for updates!
Global competition for scientific talent is accelerating. Canada, China, and the EU are investing heavily to attract researchers just as federal research priorities shift. Now is the moment for New York to double down on investment in life sciences.
We are grateful for the opportunity to meet with @Bobby4Brooklyn and discuss how state investment in research helps sustain jobs, training, and innovation in #NewYork.
