Take 30 Seconds to Ratify the Initial Bargaining Demands Today

Apr 30, 2026 | PD bargaining updates, Postdoc Email Digest

As Postdocs ourselves, we know you have a lot going on, so we’ll be brief — can you take 30 seconds to ratify our Initial Bargaining Demands (IBDs) today?

 

Ratify the IBDs

Ratifying the IBDs is the first step towards winning the strong contract we deserve. Postdocs are fighting for issues including fair and just compensation, protection for the 40% of UW Postdocs who are international, equity for Postdocs on fellowships, and more. UW only takes us seriously when we have participation from a majority of Postdocs — can you help us win by taking 30 seconds to ratify the IBDs today?

In solidarity,

The Postdoc Bargaining Team
