This victory comes after 625 days of negotiations with the @Society4Science. We fought hard and ultimately won some important protections for our members. This contract will serve as a foundation to build a stronger, more equitable workplace.

601 days of negotiating and we're getting nothing for Christmas from @Society4Science All we want is a contract to vote on. They cry poverty, yet always find the money to pay the CEO
In 2024, @society4science CEO @MayaAjmera received a $79,875 raise. The changes in our latest proposal mark a less than $40,000 increase in salary costs for the Society compared to their previous offer. That's for all 27 guild members over the full 3-year contract.

The struggle is real. Now imagine you work at @washingtonian, which doesn’t want to raise the salary floor above $42,500…
