As Academic Student Employees and Postdocs at UW, we have strong protections in our contracts for issues such as health & safety, workload, paid training, and more (printable summary here: https://tiny.cc/4121KYR).  Note that both the Academic Student Employee and Postdoc contracts are clear that we cannot be required to work in conditions that pose an imminent threat to health and safety.

If you have questions or concerns about any aspect of your working conditions, fill out this short form and someone from the Contract Enforcement Working Group will follow up with you asap. You can also email Contract Enforcement directly at contractenforcement@uaw4121.org.
