Postdocs: RSVP for our Initial Bargaining Goals Town Hall on Tuesday, July 1!

Graduate Students: RSVP for our Initial Bargaining Goals Town Hall on Wednesday, July 2

Over the past few weeks, a strong majority of UMass Chan postdocs and graduate students have completed bargaining surveys to collectively shape our goals before we begin bargaining with the UMass administration. Postdocs will be hosting an Initial Bargaining Goals Town Hall on Tuesday, July 1 at 3PM in NERB 1100 to discuss these initial goals for our first contract. Graduate students will be hosting an Initial Bargaining Goals Town Hall on Wednesday, July 2 at 4PM in NERB 1100 to discuss these initial goals for our first contract. Come meet with other postdocs/graduate students, ask questions, and hear about next steps. After discussing bargaining goals and getting your feedback, we will hold an online vote on whether to ratify the initial bargaining goals following the town hall. Food will be provided at the town hall.

The more information our newly elected bargaining committee has on our priorities, the more power we will have to make improvements. If you haven’t completed a bargaining survey yet, please do so here [postdocs]. If you haven’t completed a bargaining survey yet, please do so here [graduate students].

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or thoughts.

Best,
