✍️ UM Postdocs can also sign a digital union card on the site to help reach a majority.

📢 Why unionize?

• Fair pay that reflects the value of postdoc work
• Affordable healthcare for individuals and families
• Longer and more secure appointments
• Equal treatment for all postdocs, including those on external funding
• A real voice in workplace decisions

Postdocs at UM do world class research but often face low pay, high health care costs, short term contracts, and limited benefits.

Michigan works because postdocs do, and postdocs deserve better.

Hi Bluesky! This account is for UM PRO, the University of Michigan Postdoctoral Researchers Organization.

UM PRO is organizing a postdoc union to win fair pay, affordable healthcare, job security, and a stronger voice at work. A brief about us! 🧵

Today, UMich Postdocs delivered a letter announcing that a majority of Postdoctoral Scholars have signed authorization cards and demanding the University recognize our union! We power the school’s research—now we’re organizing for the rights and respect we deserve. 🧬✊
