Local 4100 Practice Picket to Protect Science at Weill Cornell Medicine

Postdoctoral researchers have been bargaining with Weill Cornell Medicine for well over a year, after the bargaining unit voted with 98.8% to unionize in November 2023. WCM is holding up reaching a fair agreement by insisting on being able to reduce postdocs’ hard-won salary and benefits at a moment's notice and being able to lay workers off with minimal notice. They also refuse to match all of the benefits that Mount Sinai postdocs enjoy.

In April, postdocs voted by 92% to authorize a strike if necessary if WCM doesn't take workers’ concerns seriously. To show WCM what could happen if they do not reach an agreement with us, WCM Postdocs United are holding a practice picket on Wednesday. Bring yourself as well as friends and labmates to make some noise and fight for a fair contract.
