It’s been a month since we made our letter to President Reed public, and ~5 months since we first sent the letter directly him, with no direct response. This silence has left us feeling unheard and undervalued, resulting in a complete loss of faith in the administration.
We, the Loyola University Chicago postdocs, call for an urgent raise in compensation. We addressed this open letter to President Reed on May 22nd: drive.google.com/file/d/1Ujh… 1/10

Thank you to all our colleagues for the amazing work you do! Without you, graduate students DON'T get degrees, papers DON'T get published, grants DON'T get funded, and PIs DON'T get tenure. Let’s hope @LoyolaChicago come to their senses and pay us a fair wage!

It’s been 7 days since our letter to @LoyolaChicago‘s president went public. We are advocating for fair and competitive pay for all Loyola’s postdocs. PIs are discussing it, but we’ve yet to hear from the administration. We’re waiting, and the scientific community is watching!

There are some big profile strikes happening right now (exciting!), but don’t forget the smaller schools like @UPI4100atGSU and other Illinois state school systems going out Tuesday or who are already on strike! Give them a follow to keep up with strike action across the country
Administration often celebrates when we consider and accommodate the needs of our students. That is simply what we are asking them to do for us. #FairContractNow #GSU #UPIstrong #IFTstrong

FFU members! Even if you've already voted in the Strike Authorization Vote (remember, this is DIFFERENT from signing the strike petition), now is a great time to talk to your coworkers about it!! It's important that they vote...

On Tuesday, Oct. 18, @JosephMcCartin '81 will join us at #HolyCross to discuss how we address dual crises in the deterioration of workers' rights and of democratic norms over the last 50 years — and how Catholic social teaching could help point the way. All are welcome to attend.

Labor Day isn’t a celebration of past workers. Labor Day isn’t just a holiday. Labor Day is a call to action. Workers are still suffering right now, and time and a half on Labor Day doesn’t cut it. So what should you do? 🧵

You can thank a union for this three day weekend!

We are also curious about the answer to this question as a fellow Catholic institution.
It’s an extremely basic question: If Fordham is a Catholic institution, why is Fordham failing to meet its basic legal obligations to respect workers?
