Last Friday,
@Princeton
responded to our open letter signed by a majority of postdocs, raising salary minimums to 65k - an 18.5% increase! We celebrated by hand-delivering the letter because while this is a strong start, there's much more we can win.
We are prepared to file a petition for an election with the NLRB and hope to proceed quickly towards certifying our union and bargaining in good faith with Princeton.
Today, postdocs delivered an open letter to President Eisgruber & Provost Rexford, signed by nearly 150 of our coworkers, announcing our intention to form a union and demanding that the Princeton administration not interfere.
This was only possible through the efforts of postdocs all across Princeton having countless conversations with coworkers over many months. We look forward to holding an election without delays and joining thousands of other researchers unionizing with
