Bargaining Portal

Postdocs (PDs) and Graduate Student Workers (GSWs) are negotiating to improve our working conditions and enshrine these rights and benefits in a legally-enforceable contract. The involvement of every single PD and GSW is critical to our success. Whatever we win in our contract, we win together. To move on important issues, Caltech administration will need to see that PDs and GSWs are united, mobilized, informed, and serious about our bargaining demands. The more PDs and GSWs that participate in the bargaining process, the better positioned we are collectively to negotiate for a contract that will serve all of us effectively.

To stay engaged:

- - - Attend a brief info session to discuss how GSWs and PDs can win our priorities
    - Learn about the bargaining process and attend a bargaining session.
    - Prove to Caltech administrators that we are ready to escalate in increasing numbers if needed by bringing your lab to rallies and actions
    - Keep your colleagues up-to-date about the most recent proposals
    - Get involved!

Linked in our tracker below are proposals that have formally passed at the bargaining table between our elected bargaining team and administration’s bargaining team. “Tentative Agreements” or “TAs” have been agreed to by both teams and are set aside while negotiations of remaining articles continue. Notably, no article is in effect until a majority of PDs and a majority of GSWs vote to ratify the entire contract.
