Joining Together for a Better Allen Institute

Like thousands of researchers across the country, we are forming a union to bargain collectively with the Allen Institute and advocate more broadly for our common interests like improved wages, protections from discrimination or abusive treatment, and improved transparency.

Without a union:

  • The Allen Institute is the final decision-maker on all aspects of wages, benefits and working conditions and can change them without workers’ agreement
  • The Allen Institute may consider input about Allenite working conditions, but decides how and when to use that input
  • Allen Institute rules and regulations can’t be easily enforced by individual Allenites

With a union:

  • Allen Institute United workers choose a bargaining committee that gathers input from colleagues
  • The bargaining committee negotiates on equal footing with the Allen Institute
  • The contract must be approved by a majority of AIU workers before it goes into effect
  • A legally binding and enforceable contract sets terms & conditions of AIU workers’ employment
