Members voted unanimously in support of forming an Amalgamated Local Union with SPOC-UAW and Columbia Postdoctoral Workers-UAW 4100 at our membership meeting last Thursday.
Unionized postdoctoral researchers at Columbia will hold a similar vote this week. If both groups vote in favor of amalgamation, our joint request will be sent to the UAW’s elected national leadership for approval. As members of an amalgamated local union we would be able to share resources and coordinate across both institutions. We will be in touch about next steps in the coming weeks.
In Solidarity,
