Through our union we bargain collectively for pay, benefits, rights, and protections for all UC Postdocs and Academic Researchers. Majority participation is key to securing important new rights and protections, and Postdocs and ARs direct all aspects of the union. Together we fight for fair treatment for Postdocs and ARs, and for social justice for all.

Today, UAW academic workers are rallying at University of California, San Diego in support of two Postdoctoral Researchers who have suffered under a pattern of abuse that has gone unchecked—and are demanding accountability from

UC San Diego refuses to take action while one of their Professors subjects employees to continual belittlement and harassment, and forces them to work excessive hours.

UC Academic Workers recently won industry standard-setting parental leave policies and protections against workplace bullying, but the UC San Diego administration is choosing to let inequitable situations continue instead of implementing the new contractual rights.

There is a documented pattern of Postdocs in this lab facing abusive conduct and excessive work. We are demanding accountability from UCSD administrators, and concrete action to end this cycle of known abuse.

VICTORY ALERT 🚨 After >1 year in bargaining, Postdocs have reached a tentative agreement on our Respectful Work Environment article which makes abusive conduct/bullying a violation of our contract, allowing us to seek real recourse through our grievance procedure!
This wouldn’t have been possible without Postdocs who shared their stories of bullying, a fighting membership, and the strength of UAW 5810 ARs and grad workers in Student Researchers United-UAW and UC Berkeley Student Workers Union - UAW 2865. Now it’s time to win the rest of our contract, and win protections for all academic workers!
