"People from underrepresented groups in particular feel a responsibility to give back to their communities, and they say such invisible work is rewarding, but it comes at a cost—sometimes a cost as high as derailing a career."

UC researchers generate 10% of all academic research papers published in the U.S. and are standing up for open access so everyone can use the important research funded by taxpayer dollars!

Earlier today, along with our @uaw5810 and @uaw2865 colleagues, Berkeley ARs rallied at UCB’s California Hall to demand that @UofCalifornia Administration negotiate a fair contract now! #UCResearchersUnited #UnionStrong

Yup, it would be great to be able to buy the same health insurance as all the regular UW employees!

In Oct 2017 I lost my UW health insurance plan because I received an external postdoc fellowship. A month later I got sick. This UW policy has cost me $$$ and places too high a burden on chronically ill postdocs. You can read the full story here: link.medium.com/Gh2Svc7vlW

"Postdocs used to frequently get wage increases. It used to be that was celebrated and accepted by everybody. Since May, right after we won the election of our union, we received notice that the raises would be suspended."

I've been following the post-docs @UWPostdocsUnite for awhile now. Here's the latest on this interesting labor story:
NEW: Post-doctoral researchers rallied at @UW yesterday, demanding a swift resolution to union bargaining. @svalicea was there: bit.ly/2Tmy8XB

Thanks to all the Postdocs who called, wrote and urged their representatives to sign on to Representative Chu and Jayapal’s Restore Fairness for Chinese International Students letter. It's time to stop these xenophobic attacks on international scholars.
There’s no evidence students from China pose a threat to national security. But the State Department is singling them out with new visa restrictions anyway. It’s stigmatizing and it's wrong.
@RepJudyChu and I are calling for the restoration of basic fairness to this process.

As some Whole Foods workers try to unionize, Amazon is reportedly training team leaders on how to tell if workers might have a “vulnerability to organizing,” like if they start hanging out too much or talking about a “living wage” gizmodo.com/amazons-aggressi…

You know how UW could reduce its carbon footprint? With a fully subsized UPASS for employees.
