Einstein Researchers United-UAW@eruuawSep 22
Two years have passed since we began bargaining with @EinsteinMed . Yesterday, our elected Bargaining Committee announced a Strike Authorization Vote (SAV) beginning on October 5th. A successful SAV will give our BC the power to call a strike if necessary to win a fair contract.

The Trump administration is attempting a political takeover of federal research grants. On Thursday we will be submitting comments and making calls to our electeds to oppose these changes because the best science happens when evidence guide research decisions, not politics.

6+ months into bargaining, @IcahnMountSinai still refuses basic workplace rights. Today, we delivered an open letter signed by 400+ senior researchers and postdocs @spocuaw, calling on them to reach a fair contract so we can get back to doing the research we love. #FairSinaiNow

Global competition for scientific talent is accelerating. Canada, China, and the EU are investing heavily to attract researchers just as federal research priorities shift. Now is the moment for New York to double down on investment in life sciences.

The Chinese government is ramping up its support for science go.nature.com/4lsG479

China pledges billion-dollar spending boost for science

Nature - Funding for national laboratories and important research projects would increase under the government’s plans.
