Not sure when did they start this brand new "PostDoc" Journal, seems to be of interest to Postdocs to server their needs and demands by their own postdoc groups The groups claims the following in their About Us: Journal of Postdoctoral Affairs is conceived as an international platform for addressing conceptual and practical issues that pertain to the foundations and contexts of the postdoctoral experience. Analyses of the future, present and past of the postdoctoral appointments from social, educational, economic, political and psychological viewpoints will all be gathered under the umbrella of this journal. Shorter opinion articles and letters as well as longer research and critical review papers will be considered for publication.This interdisciplinary peer-reviewed on line forum will serve the purpose of disseminating the opinion of current and former postdoctoral scholars, their faculty advisors, postdoctoral policy analysts, administrators and labor affair specialists. The selection of publishable articles will be based on a rigorous peer-review process conducted by an expert editorial team. Journal of Postdoctoral Affairs is currently inviting potential contributors to submit their works for the upcoming issues of the journal. Manuscripts should be submitted to vuk.uskokovic@ucsf.edu

Post-Docs Deserve the Basic Job Security just like any other University Employees?!!

Press Release

Post-Docs Deserve the Basic Job Security Enjoyed by Other University Staff

Canada NewsWire

OTTAWA, Nov. 17

OTTAWA, Nov. 17 /CNW/ - Students, faculty and campus workers are united in their call for full recognition of post-doctoral fellows as university academic employees. The proliferation of post-doctoral fellows conducting research on campus for sub-standard wages is another example of the casualisation of university employees.
"Post-docs are accomplished scholars who have completed their doctoral degrees--working with faculty as colleagues, not students," said James Turk, Executive Director of the Canadian Association of University Teachers. "We believe their pay should reflect that status and that the only way in which they are going to obtain proper pay, benefits and working conditions is through unionization, like all other academic staff."

Canadian PostDocs & PostDoc Unionization....!

Taxing times for Canadian postdocs

Trainee researchers struggle to make ends meet after the government clarifies tax rules for grants.

Hannah Hoag

With taxes now biting into their wages, some Canadian postdocs are thinking of Europe, or unionization.LajosRepasi/iStockphoto

Staff, student or employee? The employment status of Canadian postdoctoral researchers remains unclear — and many are struggling with the tax issues that arise from the ambiguity.

Some of Canada's postdocs are categorized as associates with benefits, others are fellows with no employee status and, until recently, some had a tax-exempt status on a par with students. "We fall into this no-man's land," says Marianne Stanford, chair of the Canadian Association of Postdoctoral Scholars (CAPS) and a postdoctoral fellow at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute in Ontario

UC Postdocs approve their first union contract

Postdocs Overwhelmingly Approve First PRO/UAW ContractAugust 11, 2010 Dear Postdocs: We have exciting news! Postdocs have voted overwhelmingly to ratify the tentative agreement as our historic first contract with the University of California. The results were 2588 voting yes and 121 voting no, a 96 percent margin. We want to thank the thousands of you who participated in the voting over the last week, as well as all of you who took action in the last few years to make this a successful campaign and enable us to win such a strong first contract. In solidarity, The PRO/UAW Bargaining Committee

Nature publications is out of touch with postdoc activities, especially postdoc union. First they wrote post doc union been failing, then they saw the Uconn and other universities succeed, changed their tones bit, now they write disgruntedly oh there are only few post doc unions, gosh wake up Nature!!, there is so much happening, until few years ago PostDoc Union was a tabooooooo?. You can't even strike a dialogue, now there are union contracts moving along successfully, you must get out of your frogs well and write exactly what is going on in many campuses.....PostDoc Unionization is reality.

 

Extra: University of California Postdoctoral Researchers Ratify Contract

From UC Office of the President

Thursday August 12, 2010

The United Auto Workers (UAW) and the University of California today jointly announced that UC postdoctoral scholars voted to ratify their first union contract. The Union announced that postdocs approved the contract by an overwhelming vote of 2588 to 121, or 96 percent in favor, in balloting that concluded Aug. 11. The postdocs’ union, Postdoctoral Researchers Organize/UAW, and UC reached a tentative agreement on July 31, 2010

Postdocs form union

University of California students join forces and negotiate.

University of California (UC) postdocs have voted to unionize, ratifying a five-year contract that brings their starting pay in line with US National Institutes of Health recommendations. The contract, approved on 11 August, also formalizes policies on sick days, leave, travel expenses, job protection and annual reviews. “It's a big victory,” says Matthew O'Connor
