That’s why we (UAW 4121) were fighting for a childcare fund for Research Scientists/Engineers. But UW didn’t want to set the precedent of Staff getting childcare. Because what’s next… the maintenance staff getting it as well?? Oh the fucking horror
Also, residents, postdocs, and grad students get the fund because they are classified as “trainees”. But if a postdoc eventually transitions into a research scientist role (instead of something like a tenure track position) they lose that fund?? It’s all fucking mental
