Instead of working with us to reach a fair agreement, Mount Sinai is trying to take away our rights. But we are ready to keep fighting for the contract we deserve.

We’re getting ready for the NY Researchers Stand Up! day of action. Join researchers across NYC @cpw-uaw4100.bsky.social, @rocsuaw.bsky.social, @eruuaw.bsky.social, WCMPU, UPROR in our fight for fair contracts. Come rally with us tomorrow, Wednesday May 20: linktr.ee/local4100

This May 20: NY Researchers Stand Up! 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. RSVP: tr.ee/ffW78aBm8-

Ahead of our first bargaining session with Sinai tomorrow, we delivered an open letter signed by 400+ postdocs and senior researchers @rocsuaw.bsky.social, calling on them to agree to a fair contract. #FairSinaiNow #UnionStrong

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. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

China pledges billion-dollar spending boost for science

Funding for national laboratories and important research projects would increase under the government’s plans.

We are grateful for the opportunity to meet with Assemblymember Robert Carroll and discuss how state investment in research helps sustain jobs, training, and innovation in #NewYork.

Thank you @sengonzalezny.bsky.social for taking the time to meet with us and discuss the importance of sustained state support for biomedical research in #NewYork.

Thank you for the time @amromero109.bsky.social - proud to be working with you to keep scientists and union jobs in NY.

We had a great time meeting with Senator Mattera about the importance of state support for early career researchers, especially in the current funding environment.

‪Today we stood together with researchers @kaitlinmurtha.bsky.social @stepsbystef.bsky.social, students, educators, and supporters at the Stand Up for Science rally in NYC. This is what collective action for science looks like.

Huge thanks to @salazarsenate.bsky.social for working with us as we fight for funding stability for research in #NewYork.

"EBRI would allow me to stay and continue the important research that sustains the well-being of all New Yorkers." - Stefano Cataldi @columbiauniversity.bsky.social @stepsbystef.bsky.social
