It has now been one year since a majority of all Postdocs and Research Associates voted to form our union, RAPUP-UAW. Since then, we have spent eight months negotiating our first contract, and the work is not yet complete. To secure a contract in a timely manner, Postdocs and Research Associates will need to implement the lessons learned from our colleagues who have won transformative contracts at other institutions . That’s why it’s important for postdoctoral workers to attend RAPUP-UAW Summer School 2026, where we will teach each other what it takes to finally win our contract. The first session is this Wednesday, July 22 from 5-7pm in Hill Pavilion 132 (and via zoom).
In Solidarity,
