We work hard and our work saves lives. Sinai, it's time for a fair contract.

The majority of Einstein postdocs have already voted since our Strike Authorization Vote opened yesterday! After more than two years of bargaining, the message from postdocs is overwhelming: We need a fair contract NOW!

Two unions, one fight. Postdocs and senior researchers rallied together today to show Mount Sinai that we are standing together to demand the fair contracts we deserve.

Postdocs at @icahnmountsinai are done being underpaid for work that saves lives. We're fighting for a contract with fair compensation and real cost-of-living support.

WHO’S GOT THE POWER? WE GOT THE POWER! 200 postdocs, ARS, and supporters picketed outside Columbia’s “State of the School” presentation Monday to send a clear message: we need Columbia to stop breaking the law and negotiate in good faith for a fair contract, or we will strike!

Inside, Columbia reassured us its financial condition is strong, but we know the truth: Columbia’s offer fails to address the cost of living crisis and completely ignores pressing issues like housing and childcare.

We picketed to show what will happen if Columbia fails to negotiate in good faith before our strike deadline on October 21 - we are ready and willing to walk off the job.

Two years have passed since we began bargaining with @EinsteinMed . Yesterday, our elected Bargaining Committee announced a Strike Authorization Vote (SAV) beginning on October 5th. A successful SAV will give our BC the power to call a strike if necessary to win a fair contract.

On Friday, we went to Dean Tomer's office with a letter announcing our readiness to call on our Bargaining Committee to hold a Strike Authorization Vote if necessary to reach a fair contract. The letter was signed by 50 Postdocs across 14 departments.

“Researchers from across campus came together today to hear updates on our and @rocsuaw's negotiations, and discuss ways we can continue to call on @IcahnMountSinai to reach fair contracts with greater urgency. #FairSinaiNow”

Scenes from Tuesday’s rally! Thank you again to @claireforny @DarializaforNY @bradlander @spocuaw @mancillabrando and @UAWRegion9A for standing with us as we fight for improving job security, increased childcare support, and basic protections against harrasment. 1/2

Columbia is offering us salary minimums that are below other institutions in the city, not enough to survive in NYC, and is refusing other protections.
