Union of Postdoctoral Associates and Fellows Is Certified at Rutgers U.
A union for postdoctoral associates and fellows at Rutgers University recently got the stamp of approval it needed to begin negotiating a contract with the institution.
The New Jersey Public Employment Relations Commission certified the vote of almost 350 people who make up the third group of postdocs in the nation to form a union. They will be represented by the Rutgers Council of AAUP Chapters-American Federation of Teachers. The other two postdoc unions are at the University of Connecticut and the University of California.

"I've seen people with little higher education experience demand senior faculty rank" I've seen job descriptions for one-year VAPs that read like a full professor is being sought. It works both ways.
