New webpage for Research Coordinators and Consultants
Research Coordinators and Consultants are continuing to organize to form a union alongside RSEs A-4 at UW. Check out our new webpage to meet the Organizing Committee and find answers to Frequently Asked Questions. Right now, Research Coordinators and Consultants who agree with the formation of a union are signing union authorization cards. Once a strong majority have signed these cards, we’ll file with PERC (the Public Employment Relations Commission) and begin the certification process for our union. If you have questions, would like to learn more, or would like to help out, please let us know via contact@uwresearchersunited.
UW Researcher Union in The Scientist
The effort to form a union for RSEs A-4 and win recognition was featured in The Scientist last week alongside two other new unions. The piece highlighted the momentum behind academic organizing and insight from UW Researchers Cara Margherio and Tricia Wu, and included some great pics 🙂 Give it a read and share with your social networks!
In solidarity,
