After a 12-day strike we have reached a tentative agreement with @IcahnMountSinai! This is a massive achievement and would not have been possible without years of efforts by hundreds of postdocs and our incredible allies who stood with us ✊🏽 #1u

- The ballots have been counted and we WON OUR UNION with 89.5% of #postdocs voting yes! The strength of this vote gives us a clear mandate for bargaining. @IcahnMountSinai, we look forward to meeting you at the bargaining table. Stmt: sinaipostdocunion.org/vote-release/
- Mount Sinai can do better. We're calling on the institution to improve gender equity by providing a childcare fund. #SinaiOnStrike
- “I chose my baby. But no one should have to make that choice.” #StopForcingWomenOutOfAcademia @IcahnMountSinai #SinaiOnStrike

- And just like that! @spocuaw is officially certified as the Union representing #Postdocs @IcahnMountSinai. We, the postdocs, have spoken! With 89.5% of the vote, we join @CPWUAW as the second @uaw postdoc union in NYC 🖖
- On August 10, we will begin voting to authorize a strike. This comes after hundreds of of postdocs @IcahnMountSinai and @Columbia joined mass meetings in support of this move. More than a year since we voted for our union, we say #EnoughIsEnough #FairContractNow

- Thank you for joining us @nycDSA! Come to the picket line and join our fight. We're fighting for equity, housing and childcare. (We also have great snacks and an endless supply of coffee). ✊🏽 #OnStrike for a #FairContractJoin Mt. Sinai postdocs on the picket on 99th and Madison every day until they win a fair contract! @spocuaw
00:00 - Today's informational picketing showed what it looks like when postdocs say enough is enough! We were joined by @AMEddieGibbs and hundreds of our colleagues across campus to tell @IcahnMountSinai we deserve a #FairContractNow #StrikeReady #1u 💪🖖 📸: @Peacemakerhuynh
