At the bargaining table, we've demanded that our members receive robust pay increases to keep up with the rising cost of living in Portland. At the same time, we recognize that our PI's grants may not be able to cover the significant increases we need to make ends meet.

The solution is clear: it's time for OHSU to step in and cover the cost by covering the delta. OHSU must cover the research gap. Creating unfunded mandates of pay increases only puts OHSU’s lowest paid employees at risk of losing their jobs. OHSU’s global reputation is built upon the cutting edge research that our members and future members make possible. If OHSU wants to be a top tier research institute, they need to support their research staff. It’s time for OHSU to step up and make it possible for them to make a decent living.

 Join us in making your voice heard: OHSU, cover the research gap!

This rally is cosponsored by Research Workers United and Postdoc Workers United, who are facing similar issues.
