OHSU Researchers United stands in solidarity with our colleagues at the University of California who joined other academic workers at UC who went on strike on November 14th and are calling for better pay and benefits. UC research workers unionized and negotiated their first contract in 2019, forming one of the first academic research workers in the country.

The research workers at University of Washington also voted to form a union in June 2022 and are currently bargaining their first contract! We wish them all the best can't wait to hear about the great things they achieve.

OHSU Researchers United would make the third research worker union on the west coast and so we would be in good company with our UC and UW colleagues who have joined together to demand better wages and working conditions. Join us!
