One important role our union has is enforcing the contract that you work under. If you are experiencing a problem at work, you can use this confidential form to contact the Executive Board of our Union. You always have the right to union representation, and in many cases we can enforce your rights with our grievance and arbitration procedure. This process may include informal discussions, interim measures, formal grievance filing, and/or arbitration.

Please contact us even if you are unsure whether you would like to pursue a formal grievance. We can discuss your options and rights with you. Your information will not be shared beyond the elected officers of the Union without your consent. Every worker deserves a safe, equitable and accessible workplace – we hope the steps you take here will help create a better workplace for you and for postdoctoral and associate researchers like you.
