Weill Cornell Medicine Postdocs Reach Tentative Agreement After Setting Strike Deadline

On the eve of their strike deadline, Weill Cornell Medicine Postdocs United-UAW (WCMPU-UAW) reached a Tentative Agreement with management, winning necessary guardrails around layoffs and a ratification bonus in the final session. This Agreement includes new salary rates that will make postdoc minimum salaries at Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM) among the highest in the country. It also establishes a number of new workplace rights for researchers that make WCM more equitable and inclusive, including protections against unfair termination, new rights for international workers, neutral resolution of grievances, stronger protections against discrimination, harassment, and bullying, paid parental leave, and enforceable rights to quality housing.
