Greetings Postdocs.
Today your Postdoctoral Bargaining Team met with the Employer and raised the five key issues that have been discussed over the last few months with our Postdoctoral membership.
1) Childcare
2) Minimum salary floor
3) Annual wage increases
4) Salary reductions during the PDF to PDA transitions
5) Healthcare benefits
Postdoctoral researchers are critical to the high quality of research conducted at Western University. They and their families make personal sacrifices to come to Western for an indefinite term and dedicate themselves wholly to advancing the university's reputation for excellence.
Regarding 2017 Postdoc bargaining at Western University, we request you to sign a petition, by clicking here, to add your voice in support of our postdoc members. This letter will be sent to Amit Chakma, the president and vice-chancellor of Western University.
A significant portion of our members are also members of the University of Western Ontario Society of Graduate Students.
