PSAC‑Quebec is pleased to welcome its new post-doctoral members to our university sector family. Earlier this week, the Quebec Administrative Labour Tribunal’s vote tally showed that the postdocs were nearly unanimous in their desire to organize.
“We are very proud of welcoming UQTR’s postdocs into PSAC-Quebec’s big family,” said Regional Executive Vice-President Yvon Barrière. “They will benefit from the unique expertise we’ve cultivated thanks to our robust university sector and work with postdocs.”
In all, over one hundred postdocs will form a separate bargaining unit under the umbrella of the Association syndicale des travailleuses étudiantes et travailleurs étudiants de l’UQTR (ASTRE). Their goal: a first collective agreement to better their working conditions.
