Columbia Postdoctoral Workers - UAW Local 4100
@CPWUAW
The first union for postdoctoral researchers + fellows and associate researchers in a US private institution (@Columbia) | RTs ≠ endorsements | (they/them)
It's critical that we come together as unionized researchers to have the strongest possible voice in shaping how our institutions and elected leaders respond to this crisis. Thank you for meeting with us!
Thank you to rep @AOC's office for meeting with us and @cpwuaw about ways federal research cuts are impacting postdocs and international workers. Join us to fight these cuts on Tuesday, April 8th, at 5:00pm at the Central Library steps! #KillTheCuts RSVP tinyurl.com/2suhhrx8
At our second-ever contract campaign retreat, NYC researchers discussed strategies on winning strong contracts, fighting federal funding cuts, and raising standards for all researchers✊
We are excited to work together with @ZohranKMamdani to make our city a better place—for researchers and for all New Yorkers!
Today we’re making history in NYC - we have a chance to elect leaders who stand with workers. When we were on strike, @ZohranKMamdani and @bradlander stood with us. Rank Mamdani #1 and Lander #2. Vote union strong. ✊
“We moved across the world to do life-saving research. We deserve stability, not uncertainty. We will strike if necessary for protection and a fair contract” medium.com/@alt_spliced/i…
"International postdocs comprise over three quarters of our workforce, and many of us are being forced to seriously consider leaving WCM and the US in general as further career opportunities in science seem increasingly uncertain." @WCMPostdocUnion medium.com/@alt_spliced/i…
Columbia postdocs and associate researchers called for greater transparency and support from @Columbia in its response to funding cuts at a Med Campus forum yesterday. Researchers must continue making our voices heard! 📣
UAW Local 4100 researchers @spocuaw @eruuaw @nyuresearchers @rocsuaw stand with @hopkinspro_uaw postdocs voting in the final day of their union election! #JoinTheMovement #UnionYes
While excelling in our fields, we’re forced to navigate one of the most expensive cities in the country without the basic support other postdocs in NYC already have. Postdocs deserve childcare support and a stable contract. Chelsea Crooks, Postdoctoral Associate in Pediatrics.
Columbia has dragged its feet for years on implementing anti-bullying protections that we won in our contract. As part of a meeting with the Vice Provost today, postdocs & associate researchers delivered a petition signed by the majority of our coworkers demanding no more delays!
FAIR CONTRACT NOW!
WCM Postdocs Vote! #enoughisenough#faircontractnow✊
Hundreds of academic workers across NYC marched to demand that lawmakers #killthecuts on federal research funding yesterday, part of a National Day of Action!
Emilya, President of @UAW Local 2750, is concerned about the impacts of DOGE gutting our health agencies. “Nobody voted to end cancer research… If we are not able to do that research, no one else is going to do it.”
Cuts to federal funding threaten desperately needed progress in medical research at @IcahnMountSinai. Join us TODAY at 5pm in Bryant Park as we fight to #killthecuts: tinyurl.com/2suhhrx8

By cutting funds to lifesaving research and medical care, the Trump administration is abandoning families who are suffering and costing taxpayers billions of dollars. These cuts are dangerous to our health and dangerous to our economy. TOMORROW, workers across the country are…
