Our bill, SB-5238, is on the Governor 's desk! We are so excited that our state is supporting our right to collective bargaining, a right shared by all employees enrolled in academic programs at public universities, with this piece of legislation. #FridayVibes

Big wins for Postdocs and Academic Researchers at UC who have reached tentative agreements. Now it's time for UC to make serious proposals to Academic Student Employees and Student Researchers!

These contracts will “change how academia functions, as far as how it treats its workers,” said Stacey Frederick, an academic researcher at UC Berkeley

Tears of joy upon opening my email this morning. Since signing my union card at WSU I've defended & moved to an institution with both grad+ postdoc unions - the difference in agency is palpable. I've seen people be able to stand up for themselves and others with union backing ✊

Today in Pullman, Vancouver, Prosser, Spokane & Puyallup, we delivered an open letter to WSU admin. The message: it's time for our union to be certified & to that end we offered to assist with final steps & made clear we won’t stand for additional delays. wsucase.org/wp-content/upl
