UMass Postdocs Vote to Unionize! |
|
Thursday, 04 February 2010 |
|
"A majority of the 300 postdoctoral researchers working at three University of Massachusetts campuses in Boston, Amherst and Dartmouth have signed cards to join a union to negotiate better wages, health care and working conditions," the UAW recently acknowledged. According to Simona Maccarrone, a postdoctoral researcher from UMass Amherst: We’ve taken this step so we can protect our rights on the job, and make sure postdocs working on different campuses and in different labs are treated fairly and receive comparable pay and benefits. This will give us the same union rights as other workers and faculty at UMass.

Check your Health Insurance Rebate! |
|
Tuesday, 22 December 2009 |
|
Unfortunately, the University has issued the wrong health insurance rebates to part-time graduate assistants... Rebate Owed Rebate Paid Amount Still Owed 4.5 hrs/wk $363 $288 $75 9 hrs/wk $626 $576 $50 13.5 hrs/wk $889 $864 $25 18 hrs/wk $1,152 $1,152 $0 The extra amount will be issued in the form of another rebate check in the coming weeks. Needless to say, the GEO Committee members are very disappointed that the school has made this mistake, especially after all the hard work the negotiating team spent over the summer trying to ensure that all assistants, regardless of their time commitment, received a $100 increase over the amount rebated in the 2008/2009 academic year. In the meantime, any questions/concerns should be directed to
